Okay, so now that it's over, DeLay has declared political revenge on everyone involved. And this isn't political. Riiiight.

I don't know what DeLay's personal faith is. But as a man of the Christian faith, I interpret this statement to mean that those "responsible" will have to answer to God, just like the rest of us.

What disappoints me about this case, even more than the fact that the state basically enforced the slow starvation of a living woman, is that it was framed as an "end-of-life/right-to-die" issue rather than as an issue of the rights of the disabled. Mrs. Schiavo was a disabled woman, not a terminal case.

Personal life lesson for me is to choose very, VERY carefully the woman I marry. It could be a matter of life or death.

Thats where the difference is. Everyone's interpertation of what happned and how it should be viewed. RKJS belives that is about the rights of the disabled. Others believe that it is a right to live/right to die. I believe that it is a personal matter between family. In such a large country like the US we are allowed differing opinions and point of views. It comes down to your own personal beliefs and values. That is what makes us great as a nation because we can do this. We can hae so many different ways of seeing things. But it can also bite us in the ass too like this case when the subject is so topical.

This subject is so gray, no one is right and no one is wrong. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
