Again with the legalisms? Hitler was "democratically elected". What good did that do in terms of the morality of the things he did? Saddam Hussein was "democratically elected" in Iraq, to hear it told. Did that make the things he did acceptable because they were legal?
Are you even able to distinguish the difference between legality and morality? Don't you understand that the mechanics of how those who hold power over others obtain it have little bearing on the larger moral questions? What matters, from an ethical viewpoint, is the nature of the actions those in power take when they exercise that power. No matter how much you argue legalities and process and mechanics, you will not convince me that killing an innocent person is moral or just. It may be to you, but to base a society on such principles is to forfeit any claim to being civilized, much less just.
And you terri-bots wonder why government officials in Florida won't take your calls?
You have some nerve with that "terri-bot" crap when you seem to base your argument completely on legalistic process and mechanics. If anyone, you and those who lusted for Terri's death are more like death-bots, driven to kill an innocent person to satisfy nothing more than an unthinking, unfeeling, mechanical legal process. Greasing the wheels of death, more or less.
And, no, I don't call "government officials" in Florida. There is a higher power that I answer to, as they, and you, will, eventually. I will not have Terri's blood on my hands. But those who killed her, and those who agreed with and supported the acts of those who killed her, will.
Not really. He got something like a third of the vote then manipulated events and dissolved the Weimar Republic.
Are you even able to distinguish the difference between legality and morality?
Sure. I just don't see anything immoral about letting a woman in a vegitative state die in accordance with her wishes.

Yawn. Same old, same old.
