Yep, I think Keyes is a nut and I dislike Savage, that is an opinion on a subject not a poster. Savage and Keyes are subjects for debate and I address them that way. Now, if I were posting to those two people, as people, I would temper my comments and talk to them like I am to you.
Yeah, I am on record supporting Terri's wishes to die, thats my opinion, I also think that she was brain dead for 15 years. Now, you added the bit about a single judge ordering her starved to death not being an atrocity.
Be careful with your words, you got most right, but then you argued emotionally, not logically. I don't think it is the Feds role to get into this matter, it is too much government. Terri's situation happens every day, this was just a case where everyone used her to further their ends. I mean, we had freepers gushing about how great Jesse Jackson is, how strange is that?
Have a great night, and rethink your argumentation strategy, it will serve you well in the future.
Not strange at all. We also have FReepers gushing about how great Hillary is.
The condescension in your post is very amusing. Now be careful with your grammar and rethink some of that punctuation. And don't forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed.
The person I spoke with at the RNC in Washington said the internals showed that the mainstream Republican voters were furious with the way this whole "mess" was handled by the GOP.
The religous right framed THIS particular life debate with a vileness that repelled any rational person from their cause. Any positive voice they brought to the debate was screamed dowm with invectives from other self rightous holier than thou.... Christians? Hardly...
"The priesthood have, in all ancient nations, nearly monopolized learning. And ever since the Reformation, when or where has existed a Protestant or dissenting sect who would tolerate A FREE INQUIRY? The blackest billingsgate, the most ungentlemanly insolence, the most yahooish brutality, is patiently endured, countenanced, propagated, and applauded. But touch a solemn truth in collision with a dogma of a sect, though capable of the clearest proof, and you will find you have disturbed a nest, and the hornets will swarm about your eyes and hand, and fly into your face and eyes."
John Adams - letter to John Taylor
I would hope that a Judge would not go back to off-the-cuff emotional remarks I made at 20, about not wanting to live in a particular situation, and decide that means I wish to be STARVED, DEHYDRATED, and CREMATED today.
