I was thinking yesterday about the fact that many of our visitors seemed to be glued to the soap opera-style news coverage of Anna Nicole Smith's death and the aftermath. They all seemed to have opinions on why certain men to whom she was never married should have the right to decide where she was buried. And they all had opinions on why courts in Florida or California should have any jurisdiction over her daughter who was born in and has always lived in another country.

These visitors who were happy to see Terri's estranged and adulterous husband put her to death were rather suspicious of Anna Nicole Smith's various boyfriends/companions (and their suspicions were probably quite valid). But I'm wondering, if Anna Nicole Smith had not died and was instead lying in a "permanent vegetative state" (a term which Florida seems to use at random) and one of these men (or her mother) recounted a conversation in which she indicated not wanting to live, would our visitors support her being starved and dehydrated to death or would her "celebrity" be enough to justify letting her live?

That depends on how it is presented to them by the MSM. Appearances are everything to these people. The videos of Terri that proved to the world that she was aware of her surroundings, are the same videos that those people looked at and saw what they perceived to be an unattractive woman with limited brain capacity. Too ugly and stupid to live. These are the same people who are rooting for a liberal politician who has little more going for him than a cute smile. The irony is, I've seen photos of some of them, and they don't come anywhere close to their own standards of beauty. Woof! And as for intelligence, they don't see the irony in using the standards of beauty and intelligence that they themselves can't meet, as deciding factors in life and death matters.

It all depends on their feelings and perceptions. If they have to look beyond what the MSM tells them to feel, they're lost.
