I don't believe he has any medical background.

Obviously not.
In days back, people participated in civil disobedience by actually doing something practical. The Blacks who sat at lunch counters or registered to vote could actually order and eat a meal or register to vote. To call what he did an act of civil disobedience is a misnomer. It was – if anything - a shameless grab for publicity.

Hope he enjoys his newfound criminal record.

Is that the principle that governs every moment of your waking life: Act in such a way as to please law enforcement and local courts? Does that not make you feel like a slave to the whims of mankind, come good or bad leaders and laws? Do you not feel a responsibility to any higher authority? Are you aware of an important text with rules for proper living called The Bible?

[Conservative til I die]

No. Police officers, acting within the law, stopped him.

Or do you advocate lawlessness?

Are you against civil disobedience?

Do you feel that all laws by mere virtue of being passed, are automatically and always just?

[sinkspur]

Are you against civil disobedience?

No. But, be prepared to pay the consequences.

I want a congressional investigation

The Homosexual Network was the first book to document the queer-priest problem. Fr. Rueda knew, well, the extent of the difficulty. I still have it as a reference item and yes, all the names you think should be in it ARE in it. 262 posted on 03/30/2005 8:20:47 AM EST by ninenot

Yeah. That this has weakened the church in its ability to confront the moral dilemmas of the "culture of death" is very clear. No idea why anyone would want to try to dispute that. Weird. The heckling of pro-life conservatives on FR is ridiculous.

Who knows?

No, I haven't "...read about a law that allowed a husband to kill his wife by starvation...."; but I have read about a wife who's fight was (is?) to keep her husband on life support despite the Texas Futile Care Law which allows a hospital to pull the plug--thanks, in part, to "...National Right to Life...help[ing] to write the Texas law."
