In determining whether something is legally right or wrong, the motives of those in the debate are not relevant.

Which makes you the irrational ideologue who has a minimal understanding of Florida law.

My whole essay avoids judgment of the family members.

Right, which is a tacit admission that you neither understand the issues in general or the Florida statutes in particular. Which necessarily means you wrote from ignorance.

The focus is on the involvement--inappropriate involvement, in my estimation--of groups with agendas, turning Terry Schiavo into an ideological football.

LOL, everybody has an agenda. You obviously have an agenda but you simply think your agenda trumps everybody elses agenda. A pluralist country encourages "agendas' in the public square so discourse can follow. That's how America works, comprende?

You obviously have no problem with that misuse of a family tragedy.

Ad hominem doesn't bother me, it simply means you've got nothing to offer. Such is life.

Everyone does not have an agenda which involves misusing other people's misfortunes to make social statements! That is nonsense.

You seem to think that having a verbal response to everything makes a point. It doesn't.

My essay, again makes the essential distinctions, whether you like them or not. It will be judged not by what you say, or by what I say about it; but by how well it resonates with the individual readers.

I am going to dinner. But anyone interested can judge for themselves: Terry Schiavo: An End To Rational Analysis?

Well they are talking about how much good they are doing on this thread. I agree.. exposing their ignorance and prejudice against those less fortunate.
