A dumping ground for the inane...

Because children know so much more than Mr. Schiavo. Of course. These kids, who claim that they told their parents they wanted to go to the hospice that holds Mrs. Schiavo to give her water even though the only thing she can swallow is her own saliva, know so much more than her husband and scores of doctors. They know that he wants to kill his wife despite his tears and grief stricken face. Problem is it's doubtful that these kids even suggested such a thing, or have any idea what it would be like to have your wife lie there, completely unaware of the world around her. It probably all lies on the parents. The parents who are anti-abortion activists and, in the case of one man, a convicted rapists and kidnapper. These people are the moral epicenters of the world, their beliefs and statements shape everything and we should just sit in awe and watch as they perform "the Lord's work" to "save this woman."


This whole thing is insane. People who claim that Mr. Schiavo wants to kill his wife are stupid. They don't know him, they know nothing about him, have problem never been in a similar situation and their "faith-based crusade" is fundamentally flawed. These are fundamentalist Christians who are judging this man. Oh, right, “judge not lest ye be judged.” Remember that whole thing? Selective Christianity, that’s what these people’s problem is. They say that they’re doing “the Lord’s work” despite the fact that Jesus told the world that you shouldn’t judge people unless you’d like to be judged. Luckily for us, one of those who went down to the hospice was judged a while back, and he is a rapist. These are the exemplars, right? It’s all just stupid. Leave the man alone to his grieving you hyenas and “think-you-are” saviors of the world. In your eyes the savior of the world came and went, and he didn’t leave you in charge.


Actually, my favorite people in the middle of this are Tom DeLay and Jeb and George W. Bush. I mean wow. How hypocritical can you get? Tom DeLay pulled the plug, literally, on his own father; Jeb wanted to send in the state guard to take custody of this woman who he doesn’t know and knows very little about; and our president who, when governor of Texas, signed a law making it ‘okay’ for hospitals to pull the plug on people in comas if the families of said comatose patient cannot afford to keep them there. In fact, a month ago, a child was pulled from an incubation chamber and killed because of this very same law. Hypocrisy Hooray!
