R.I.P.

So Terri is finally laid to rest. And it has to be a rest for Michael and the Schindlers. What a long and anguished ordeal it has been for them all. I wish them peace and I hope they find forgiveness from each other and an understanding that it was their love for Terri that put them at odds. People who want to do the right thing don’t have to see eye to eye on how to do it.

The politicians, however, are another matter. George W. Bush, for instance, who when Governor, passed laws in Texas in support of removing feeding tubes, and Tom DeLay, who turned off his own father’s life support some fifteen years ago. These political hypocrites, along with certain right-to-lifers who haven’t lifted a placard in concern for the tens of thousands of other terminal cases who are taken off life support every year--all of these political and pseudo-religious hypocrites deserve to be taken immediately off life support and ground into muck of sewage where they belong.
