So happy to hear he is beginning rehab!! Thanks for the update

Gilbert and Sullivan knew better :-)

But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

("I've got a little list," from the Mikado.)

>> misdiagnosing her condition using a video tape

I wonder what this ninny used to make HIS diagnosis and proclaim Dr. Frist to be mistaken? Did he haruspitate with chicken entrails? There certainly are enough chicken guts lying around this thread.

>> Convicted murderer "possibly" suffered cruel and unusual punishment for 34 minutes? Terri Schiavo suffered cruel and unusual punishment for 13 days which gets into the 18,720 minute level!

In other words, Terri suffered more than five hundred times as long! The same people who beat their breasts over a murderer's execution were nearly unanimous in approving the innocent Terri Schiavo's prolonged and horrible death. They were actually delighted by Michael Schiavo's hellish killing of the woman he promised to love, honor and cherish.

Oops. "Haruspicate," in case anyone is rushing to the dictionary to look it up :-)

Ping to this thread by nuconvert. This is a story about the right way to treat disability... about overcoming problems and fears in life... about what a loving family do for each other. Here is a father who DID keep his promise but would be too modest to say so.

Disabled trumpeter, dad steal the show

I used to think people that were confined to a wheelchair were pretty unfortunate. Then came Michael Schiavo.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We just came back from seeing The Nativity Story. We loved it!

[T'wit]

This young man must make the heavens smile! Born without eyes. Remember how the visitors mocked Terri for (allegedly) being blind? Would they mock this fellow too, and put him to death because he's "disabled"? That is the logic of "right to die." The same logic as Nazi eugenics.

[T'wit]

I am deeply envious :-) -- it's not playing anywhere near us. But, hey, you are enjoying it for all of us, and that's good enough. Happy new year!

Would they mock this fellow too, and put him to death because he's "disabled"?

That's a silly question. You've been around long enough to know they would. You won't see any of them over on that thread, talking about how uplifting this story is. If they show up at all, it will be to mock.

If the news media and the courts said this disabled person should die, they would believe it. That's the 10 % club for you.

It gets me that SOME critics said it was boring, but it was NOT. Those critics are just antireligious.

Hope you get to see it on DVD.

>> If the news media and the courts said this disabled person should die, they would believe it.

Just so. As G.K. Chesterton observed, so usefully: for those who will not believe in God, the danger is not that they will believe in nothing, but that they will believe in anything. We witness that every day.

Orwell and others have made a very similar observation that there are some things so stupid or ridiculous, only an intellectual will believe them. And indeed, there is practically no theory too bizarre to find favor in the coffee houses and universities. These are not the people you want on your side in a fire fight, or in a survival test, or using heavy machinery, or working a farm. They are not people you want on your team for thinking, either.

>> Hope you get to see it on DVD.

For sure! Still, there are some movies you should see on a big screen -- Strictly Ballroom and Sophie Scholl, the Final Days, to name two.

Without comment...

[8mmMauser]

I was going to challenge you on the word but just didn't have the guts.

[T'wit]

:-) :-)

[T'wit]

This was for you, not for me. You know why.

As the New Year dawns, so does hope renewed.

A supporter of Terri is recovering. (May we also continue our prayers and wishes for Robert Schindler who is recovering.)

D. James Kennedy, author, theologian, biblical scholar, pastor of the 10,000-member "Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church" in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and founder of the highly influential Coral Ridge Ministries, is reportedly showing signs of improvement following a massive heart attack last week.
