Are you saying it's relative? That we can't be passionate about one person's unjust torture and death because in other situations many people died? Also, Gov Bush and Pres Bush both swore to uphold the constitution which states unequivocally that we all, even Terri, have an unalienable right to life with which we are endowed by our Creator. Why is Terri's unalienable right being trampled on in the name of the "law" by ONE judge? If you start with relativism, then we shouldn't even worry about most crimes since usually, unless it's a mass murder, only one person is victimized. Why worry about the school shooting the other day, only 10 people died. Evil is evil, whether it involves one victim or 3,000.
I am saying you cannot compare 9-11 to this tragedy of Terri -- yes I am. It is so apples and oranges that I cannot believe anyone could even think that way.
Every life is important, but you don't equate this to 9-11. That totally boggles my mind and exactly why a lot of people get turned off when there is absolutely no reason to that comparison.
Argue that NO one should be starved to death and you will get a lot of support -- argue this equates to 9-11 and you will turn people off. It made me mad enough to write a rant.
Why don't you come look at the empty chairs of the victims of the Oklahoma Bombing or go through the Museum and see the cubicles with items from people who were killed that their families wanted people to see. Why don't you look at the cubicles of young innocent children who were killed that day? Then tell me it is the same thing. The people of 9-11 or the OKC Bombing didn't have a chance for Congress to pass and bill and have the President sign and then have a legal team botch the pleading. The difference is stunning.
All are tragedies but in my mind I will never equate the Terri situation to the lives lost on 9-11 or the OKC Bombing.
