I would be quick to take it too, and anyone who chased a grim Spectre into the corner must have highly likable qualities!
Go, Mr. Sheldon, tear down that wall of hype, and help us build a real one. Thank you for your support of Terri.

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. - A Lancaster County consulting firm quietly is coordinating the building of fencing on private land as part of a project to seal the U.S.-Mexican border.
Diener Consultants, with offices at 1725 Oregon Pike, is advising the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a group with a national membership that aims to reduce illegal immigration.
"Diener is the driving force behind our political consulting, our message of how to respond to the president's inaction (on the immigration issue)," says Chris Simcox, president of the Minutemen.

Sheldon helped raise money for Pat Toomey in his 2004 GOP primary challenge of U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter.
Sheldon is perhaps best known for his lobbying efforts on behalf of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman championed by the pro-life movement.
When the MCDC decided the federal government was not doing enough to stop illegal immigration and proposed the fence project in the spring of 2006, Sheldon and Kunz agreed to help with that project, too.

What Arthur Miller did in denying his own son is just flat wrong. Yet, I have seen personally how this happens ad vomitum, and in those institutions where the kids wind up, we have been dismayed endlessly by the invocation of denial, of parents who drop off the defective kid and walk away, change their address, unlist their phone numbers and declare the kid nonexistent. My memory flashes immediately to a precious little boy who was hydrocephalic, had a shunt and otherwise was doing fine. He was bright and loving. Each time we would appear he would zip down the hall in his little wheelchair and cling to our legs, pleading with us for what love we could give. When we would leave, his dejected look haunted us. His parents were like Arthur Miller and countless others. I don't think he was happy there and don't think he survived any longer than a cut flower.
This thread is from reaganaut1 with thanks to TheSarce for the ping.
Arthur Miller, who died in February 2005, [and Inge Morath] had a son born with Down syndrome in 1966. Soon after, they made the painful decision to put the child, Miller’s youngest, in an institution for the mentally retarded before Miller essentially cut him out of his life.
Ms. Andrews describes in detail how Miller rarely, if ever, accompanied his wife on weekly visits to see Daniel, almost never mentioned him to shocked friends and didn’t mention him in his memoir, “Timebends.”
The picture that emerges is of a father in denial and a son who has moved on to live a happy life without him.

Scary to have Specter in the US Senate.
