Sheehan and the Cold Pinkos disingenuously call these protests "hunger strikes" when the pioneers of the practice (Gandhi, IRA prisoners) actually threatened to starve themselves to DEATH. They didn't simply refuse to eat for a paltry 24 hours.

Frankly, it's shallow enough to suggest that other people should change course so you won't off yourself -- how much more so it is when you're just denying yourself food knowing good and well you will sustain eventually yourself regardless of others' reactions! What most of the "hunger strikers" are doing/have done is no more than what Hollywood actresses do in preparation for a role!

I propose that a new term be coined for a "hunger strike" that has an established life-saving finishing date: "Half-fast."
