Here's a hypothetical, it applies to this situation and beyond.
I've seen the polls, some 70 odd percent of the country doesn't agree with the Federal intervention. Largely I can't agree with what is being done in the case of Schiavo, I think it is an aweful thing all around, I think the husband is a straight Douche, all in all it is not easy and it is very ugly. Were I in Terri's situation I would have hoped the plug would be pulled, IF PVS were the reality; the current state may support the PVS, but show things show had things been done in the past to help her she would not be in PVS.
Here's the hypothetical, the longshot that I know just about everyone here won't agree with.
The right thing to do isn't always the popular thing to do, or in other cases it is. We as citizens are afforded the right to be more critical, plus we are entwined with our emotions and convictions. I'm not going to say the GOP is right or wrong for their stance on the issue of Schiavo, chances are they are towing the lines to rally and garner support.
However one thing I hold is, that not all of these men are apart of some great evil empire, some great evil conspiracy. As Chris Rock once said, "Just because you can do something, doesn't make it done right... I could drive the car with my feet, it doesn't make it a good fucking idea."
I don't like this straight upheaval of MY perception of what America once was. You guys can justify it as progression of rights and what not, I can not lie to myself and my convictions. I think everything largely is false, namely Abortion and Euthenasia, it's a philosophical thing. I think we are more and more becoming a culture of death were life is being degraded. Regardless of what I spout here about people world wide, I think everyone is deserving of a shot at life, everyone has worth, some assholes fuck it up and lose it, I really only give people I don't know one shot at it. This won't be the end of it, nor is this the end of my rant, I lost in thought right now, I could partial blame the drowsiness and sauce, actually solely I'll blame that, as such I'm stopping here.
