I meant to type: would have NO bearing on you at all...

The law is not meant to solve the personal problems of every member of society. "Conservatives" who want to create laws to deal with personal problems of individuals are acting in the same manner as liberals. That's why today we live in the overly regulated, overly litigious society that we do. I'm surprised at the pseudo-conservatives on Free Republic who wamt to pass a law granting people who have no legal standing -- in this case parents -- the power to seek a divorce on behalf of their child.

Bad things happen to good people. That's an unfortunate fact of life. However, expecting government to solve all of people's problems is not the answer -- even for Terri Schiavo.

I couldn't have said this better. I am amazed, frankly, at the number of pseudo-conservatives.
