irritatedTopic: The Shiavo Case
I'm more than a bit irritated with all the hype generated by the Terri Shiavo case in Florida. And I certainly DO NOT appreciate getting self-righteous e-mails from folks who accuse me of being an accomplice in her murder because I don't agree with their view on the whole messy subject. What gives them the right to judge?
The woman has been a vegetable for 15 years. Doctors have determined her chances of getting any better are practically nil... and yes, it's sad! It's a tragedy! But how would this poor woman feel if she knew the whole world was looking at her and that all of this nonsense was going on, in order to puff up the opportunistic conservatives supposedly leading our country? If I were that woman, I'd be horrified.
This is nothing more than a political ploy and a distraction from real issues. How dare these leaders of our country champion the "morality" of this one instance when they have sent thousands to their death in a senseless war? What freedom are they fighting for? Not ours, I can assure you.
Read Davina Ryszka's letter to the editor that will be appearing in the April issue of The Star Beacon. I'm putting it up early because it's that important!
