The day we need an essay on "why its wrong to starve someone to death" is the day this country has lost its moral compass.

Then we'd better get out there and start searching for it, ASAP. Apparently, about 9% of our fellow citizens see nothing wrong with killing a disabled person (recent Zogby poll). That number is way too high for comfort.

The hysterical grasping to this commissioned poll by Zogby, which bore no resemblance to any other poll taken in the country is humorous to watch. I suspect "life news" commissioned it with the questions worded by them so ambiguously as to be meaningless as it relates to the Schiavo case.

No one's buying it.

fwiw, I detect no 'hysterical grasping' in your post.

If the poll question had been "Do you believe George Bush is a member of the Templar Council of Zircon V", there probably would have been a similar number of yes votes. If any polling question yields less than 10% yes, I don't think the exact percentage is likely to be very meaningful.
