You're putting legalisms ahead of the right to life of the individual American. That is a very dangerous course, sir, fraught with peril.Those "legalisms," Sir, are what protects the rights of the individual American. You would, apparently, trash the system, to keep what is left of a nearly dead accident victim, artificially alive in a form of "Living Death."
Me thinks that your priorities are backwards!
As for your Constitutional argument, it was considered in several appeals, both State and Federal in the case. Why can you not accept the result? There was no great universally applicable issue involved. The issues all concerned the particular individuals in the Schiavo case. Stop trying to use the poor family as a propaganda football. That is simply wrong.
Again, this is only a snap shot of my basic argument:

You would, apparently, trash the system, to keep what is left of a nearly dead accident victim, artificially alive in a form of "Living Death." 'Nearly dead'??
'Living Death'??
Can't you even see the moral contortions your chosen position is forcing you into??
Your words are turning downright Orwellian; which of course they must for you to attempt to maintain such an indefensible rhetorical position.
William, your essays are worthless, imo. As foul to the mind in reasoning and feel as the excutioner's pean at a wake of one he executed.
Your ideas are no better than "what is left of a nearly dead accident victim, artificially alive" -- for example a man who suffered 6 minutes of lack of oxygen, brain trauma and other injury, unable to talk, to recognise, to feed himself. For TEN years we, the public, have had to struggle to keep that human vegetable alive. The same as vegetable Schiavo, eh? The State is damn right to slaughter her, by your wondrous (not) essays, and the State should have slaughtered him years ago.

Should the State that finds your essays the worthless prideful trash they are, find you the generator of those essays as worthless -- as worthless as some rotting vegetable? On the basis of your essays how can we say you enjoy life? Better off dead. Why make us suffer -- or yourself. You may have been a fine man one day long ago -- now just as hollow as your essays -- so the all important *Localality*, the State, may rule, eh? And what in G-d's greean earth to stop them -- for your own mighty logic is the petard's carry shaft they may impale you with.
You are fanatic in self-pride -- that is the fantasically overblow fanaticism you have grown in yourself like some cancer, imo. Cut it out! Cut out that tumor, and know rot for what it is.
