''No One Left To Speak for Me''(Terri Shaivo)

The Omega Letter ^ | 3-27-05 | Jack Kinsella

[Graymatter]

Why didn't MS offer guardianship to Terri's parents? It all boils down to the inexplicable, or worse.

It's not MS that troubles me. It's George Bush. I don't feel personally betrayed if MS is inexplicable or worse. But right now, my President is inexplicable or worse.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Ask anybody who agrees that Terri Schiavo should be put to death, and they will all give the same reason for their approval. "If it was me, I wouldn't want to live like that." In this view, it isn't about Terri, it is about me.

Exactly.

[Fitzcarraldo]

But right now, my President is inexplicable or worse.

You are right - MS can surprise us no longer...this may be where we begin having nightmares concerning the President.

[hope]

I have been feeling the same...I have no words for what's going on here and how so many seem to think it's just fine. Both sides have been crazy to a point...Here's more comfort

"Why didn't MS offer guardianship to Terri's parents?"

What do you mean, "offer"? The parents have been begging for it, suing for it, and MS and the courts refused.

You Wrote:
I am surprised the pro-death people haven't posted something ugly about this and us.

I Wrote:
Or maybe they'll just leave that part up to you

Was there another part that confused you?

[FairOpinion]

What really should trouble you, is that the Judicial Branch usurped all power and they can just dismiss anything the Exec & Legislative branches try to do.

[Vor Lady]

I am confused by your inference that I'm pro-death or that you think I should post something ugly. I've not ever seen your moniker on any threads I've been on; so why the apparent slam?

[usgator]

I just didn't feel it was right that you mentioned that they were going to say ugly things about you.

The Pro-Lifers can get pretty ugly too and there is no reason the Pro-Deathers could not say the same thing about you.

Me, personally, I can see both sides and it's a real tragedy ... both sides are hypocritical and yet both sides are right in some regards ... it's a personal issue.

I don't mean to infer that you are like this ... but you made the statement and I was responding to the statement ... not you personally, and hope you don't take it that way.

[ClaireSolt]

I just now remembered how awesome it was when Bush decided to fight Gore and the methods of corrupting our elections was revealed in detail. I feel that Bush and the Congress have done that for us again. I, for one, have learned a lot this week, haven't you?

"Omega Letter Christian Intelligence Digest"

I doubt it very, very much this piece came from a Christian org. It may be a disinformation organization spitting out disinformation. In fact, I think it is based on what I read.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense who reads this piece, knows it didn't come from a Christian mind.

Unbelievable how easily Christians are misled. And then they complain how and why our Christian heritage is gradually being diluted, disparaged and demeaned.

INTREP

[eccentric]

A twenty-first century rendition of Niemöller's poem would read; "First they came for the unborn, and I was unconcerned because I had already been born." "Then they came for the deformed and defective and I was unconcerned because I was normal." Then they came for the elderly and infirm and I was unconcerned because I was young and healthy. Then they came for Terri Schiavo, because she was disabled and helpless. I was unconcerned because I was awake and aware . . . ." "And so it goes until they come for me."

Has anyone got a better way to phrase this updating?

[Saundra Duffy]

To justify taking Terri's life to 'free her to be with God' is simply expressing some form of godliness, while denying the power thereof.

Yeah, what's up with this? It is NEVER God's will for one of his creations to be dehydrated and starved to death.

[Vor Lady]

You are right, it is a tragedy. Both sides can and do get ugly. Satan must be laughing delightedly. I should not have posted.

[Hatteras]

"The court system, proving itself 'without natural affection' ordered her to be starved to death -- with, according to the polls, the approval of a majority of America."

As I watch the nightly newscasts and their continuing coverage, I have noticed that they all lead off with this picture of Terri Schiavo...

I wonder if the polls the MSM refers to would read any different if the replaced the above picture with this one...

or, perhaps this one...

Sadly, I think there would be a big difference in opinion. Especially if you show either of the second two pics and couple that with the possible spousal abuse scenario the family has alluded to in the past.

Just thinking out loud....

[usgator]

Satan must be laughing delightedly

You know, that is probably about as true a statement as I have seen on this subject.  What is wrong with us?
