Would your sons act the way the Florida cops are? Would they actively assist in keeping food and water away from an innocent women? What would you tell them to do if they asked for filial direction?
My guess is that there aren't a handful of police in this country who would willingly lose their jobs by directly disobeying orders from their superiors, no matter that his job required him to enforce the starvation and dehydration of an innocent, disabled woman.
You have heard it from Governor Jeb Bush and George "W", 'the law is the law, and there's nothing we can do within the law to help Terri Schiavo'. This is the mentality out there, even heinous, murderous judicial rulings will be enforced. This is NOT a t.v. show or a movie, this is reality in America now.
Unless you are fortunate enough to die of a heart attack or some other form of quick death, every single American citizen out there will one day become disabled and voiceless; either due to accident, illness or OLD AGE. The process of aging and eventually losing our physical and mental health is a fact of life. The elderly, sick and disabled also lose their voice in society. Perhaps the Terri Schiavo case sets a precedent for us all in the future. Perhaps it will become a way to deal with the massive Social Security crisis that is just around the corner that is being predicted by both Republicans and Democrats? Is this the way they're going to deal with the 'baby boomers' who are aging now and will become a burdon to the young who must support them by paying heavy taxes?
I don't believe for one second that the police in Florida who are enforcing the starvation of Terri Schiavo are just some sort of strange abberation, they represent what our country has become. We have become a nation of unthinking, unfeeling, politically correct robots. Surely due in part to being 'educated' in government operated public schools, and being reared in a nation that has decided God is dangerous to government and needs to be legislated out of all public places. When they ordered God out of the public, who did they expect would step in and fill the void?
