This is not what you want. This is not what the agency is there for. Just remember when the libs turn around and start sending in govenment agencies for their moral reasons. Just remember.

HA HA HA.. What a joke.. A simple 911 call, around my area, reporting child or elder abuse would scramble them and a dozen police units..

This is precisely what they are there to do.

It's my understanding that that is what the agency is there for. And the libs have already sent in their government agencies--and the ACLU and various other groups. They've been doing it for forty years.

I completely understand the concerns of people who wonder what the involvement of Congress, the DCF, etc. in this case might mean for the future. But my personal philosophy is that human beings come first.

When a gross injustice is being done to an innocent human being, I care less about potential ramifications (which I think are being overblown in this case) than about righting the injustice. But then, I'm not a lawyer and I don't find the legal chess game more important than Terri.

Read Ann Coulter's piece just referred to above. The opposition has already used force as they pleased. As Jack Ryan said in a Tom Clancy book, "The constitution is not a suicide pact." And the rule of law is not an excuse to bury our heads in the sand or to raise "The Law" to the position of Absolute Authority. The law is a man-made artifact and we do not genuflect to it or to those men born in original sin who mis-apply it.

This nation was established by men who meant to govern themselves... better than a king or some inbred aristocracy. And now we are to pledge our allegiance, "our lives, ,our fortunes, our sacred honor" to some guy in a black robe whose tortured legal pronouncements somehow have the weight of holy writ.

That is not democracy. That is serfdom.
