To: mercy

You avoided the questions, because they go to the heart of the matter. Greer didn't just order the feeding tube removed, he ruled that no food or water could be provided to Terri Schiavo, not even orally. Did he have the authority to do that? And if a court does, what restricts it from ordering this in cases where the patient is not PVS (as the law gives him NO authority to order any such thing in the first place)? That is the elephant in the living room. That is the unbridled expansion of government power. How do you answer that (if you can)?

I'll be waiting for Ms. Rational to answer that question.

But I'm afraid it's only going to be another collective insult about us "irrational" religious wackos.

How do you explain me, Mercy? Am I a Bible-thumping religous nutjob as well?
