Remember, 60-70% of the population sees nothing wrong in the court order execution of a disabled woman by starvation - that alone should tell you where the real problem lies in this country, as our government is just a reflection of us.

I think if the poll were taken after people saw pictures of how Terri is now, the results would be different. Don't you? Nevertheless, it is true that there are too many meatheads who are more concerned with the latest game from Sony than a poor woman being cruelly terminated by the state.

I agree. And also, the media has totally distorted the facts of this case and I know that accounts in part for the high number, but that even a small number of people in this country see nothing wrong with what is happening here is very disturbing. This is barbaric, and when I look at the pictures on TV of children being handcuffed and arrested for trying to give a drink to a dying woman, I wonder what country is that happening in - it surely can't be my country, but it is and it is just unbelievable.

And, sadly, many people just hear the soundbites and think, oh well, won't she be better off dead anyway? Frightening.
