I think we need to be a bit more understanding of those of our fellow Freepers who are having trouble dealing with the anticipation that, through the actions of their elected representatives, their own hands are about to be involuntarily stained with the blood of Terri Schaivo.
Excellently said. I don't know where you come down on the debate, but the fact is a representative represents. We are all, to a greater or lesser degree, culpable simply by virtue of this representation. American individualism especially has blinded the great majority to this truth. For that reason, your comments stand out.
