I agree with you.
What is happening to this country goes far beyond poor Terri, and the "people" you describe do appear to be soulless. Of course they have souls, everyone has a soul, but something has died in them - if it were ever there, such as when they were little children? - that is the spark of Divinity and "a good Conscience towards God".
In my post, I wrote that the class of people which includes George and Jeb and Bill Frist and Tom Delay and Dennis Hastert and Rick Santorum and Mel Martinez and Dr. Dave Weldon...you name them, all of them even on Terri's side who tried to do something, in my view genuinely does not yet "get it".
Should they have informed themselves better so they would "get it"? Of course. But they have not.
They are part of the system, they are advised by lawyers, and they are very, very busy with lots of agenda items.
I really believe Rep Delay meant every word he said about wanting to save Terri. I also think there are forces going after him to discredit him. I couldn't believe how much was said about Delay, this past week, in a negative way.
The MSM played clips of him from the house floor when he was fighting for Terri. How can Rep Delay be attacked by the media for trying to help Terri. It's ridiculous.
I also believe Rep Weldon was very sincere too as well as others.
