Yeah, but I think I'm all Terri'd out.
Personally, I would have to agree with you.
After all, it was such an "inconvenience" and "interruption" from all the much more "pressing" and "important" goings-on in the World, to have to been exposed to such a "trivial matter."
After all, there was the price of gas going thru the roof; there was the issue of Social Security; we were "sidetracked" from getting more news about the U.N.; then there was was always the War in Iraq which was being forgotten, etc., etc., etc.,
Hey, were not those and so many other "newsworthy" and important matters, more pressing than the FIRST "state-sponsored euthanasia (in our lifetime and we were aware of)being exposed for all to see?
Probably not!!!
So "pedestrian;" so "mundane;" so "over the top;" so "boring."
Good ole Mae is the next cause celeb I guess, about to have her private life made public by the nosy busybodies with a cause.
"Good ole Mae?" Methinks you give your age away here. Only a youngun (or perhaps a simply, ignorant person) would refer to an 81 year old grandmother whom one does not know as "good ole Mae." Which is it?>
Ah yes, the "bête noir" cause celeb. Here we go again. All us "busybodies" who have nothing better to do, simply want to invade poor old Mae Magouirk personal life and inject our values in to something (akin to the Terri Shiavo tragedy, don't you know) which should no doubt, in your opion, be a "personal family matter?"
Yes, why can't all of us "busybodies" simply leave well enough alone and let her grand-daughter and another Probate Judge kill off "ol Mae?" SORRY PAL, NO CAN DO!!!! Whether you (or anyone else) likes it or not, there are some of us "busybodies" who consider the "sanctity" of life rather important and whether a person is 81 SECONDS old or 81 YEARS old, we believe that in cases such as these, there should be an impartial and "fair" judicial resolution--before pronouncing an "order" these "victims be "euthanized."
I just wonder how long this one will go on before the real truth is known
Oh, I don't know. Why don't you tell me/us?
Of course, that would depend on your definition of "truth." We may NEVER know the whole "truth" about Terri Schiavo. Or were you referring to a predetermined expectation (and secretly hoping for) that this all turns out of be a BIG HOAX, in order to give you and so many others reason to put "us" in our place?
That fact that you continue to call the Terri Schiavo story a euthanasia case speaks to the ignorance I was talking about. It's either ignorance or a lie -- take your pick.
"Why don't you tell me/us?"
Like I said, I'm Terri'd out. But I'm still gonna read the posts. Say something outrageous on them and I'll be all over you like white on rice.
