I think the same is true of many of the people on the opposing side of this issue.
BTW, you are an excellent poster, and this was a fine post. Thank you!
Somewhere exists a stunning photo of two huge cops on either side of a little kid, cuffed and escorted to the dog cage. I wish I knew who took it and where it wound up. It speaks eloquently, and the poor cops were clueless as to how it made them look.

Sad and righteous missive, 8mm. THANK YOU -- for being there for all of us who couldn't and for your dear heart, broken as millions of ours were, still are and will ever be .... at this breathtaking killing tragedy. How can we ever forget the almost saintly perseverence, grace and unrelenting devotion of the Schindlers?. May God dearly bless them all the days of their lives, until their precious daughter welcomes them into God's heavenly kingdom.
Pinellas Park bump.
That bears repeating. SH gets beat up pretty good around here sometimes. The other day, there was a good thread on "Ranting Rush," and sure enough, a few posters used the opportunity to bash Sean.
I listened every day through the whole sorry spectacle, had he did a tremendous job.
I used to say that Sean was hired just for his pretty face. I've changed my mind about him. I appreciate how he spoke out in favor of Terri. Also, Sean has never been afraid to take a stand.
But, when the chips were down, he came up big.
Great post!

Great cartoon and so true.
Dynamite post, and thanks for telling us about the unsung heros.
Someone informed me about parents who brought their baby there to demonstrate, and the baby had a feeding tube.
Thank you for being there -- and for your extraordinarily moving post!

Over the days several parents showed up with their children at quite a range of age. Typically, the children said it all by their demeanor, tagging the lie that people in Terri's condition were blobs of flesh.
Most of these kids were worse off than was Terri who was healthy as can be when I arrived on the scene. There were some older ones, too, fully or almost fully grown. These parents all shared something very special to me, their resolve as loving parents to protect and nurture their charges. I had seen none of these perhaps dozen or so try to find sympathy for their plight.
A number of the children were like my own son and we shared plenty in common with the obstacles faced.
That strength continued beyond the parents with kids with feeding tubes and encompassed the many handicapped there with varieties of problems, once again testifying by their demeanor.
"Beautifully written" bump.
