My thoughts on the whole Schiavo thing ....
Advertisements [?]
God bless her soul when and if she ever passes on. Okay so the feeding tube has been removed .... so now what? Just like all the fish in the tank said after they escaped into the ocean at the end of 'Finding Nemo'. They were still stuck in their little baggies floating there .... in the ocean for who knows how long?

So now what? .... will the MSM be forever outside the hospital and our Nations attention focused on "well just how long does it take someone to starve to death?" Gee what a great thing to be educated on this weekend! And will congress once again attempt to 'intercede' in this poor womans plight? This government is playing right into our nations "Soap Opera Mentality" and keeping your attention away from other matters like a good magician with slight of hand.

Don't get me wrong, life is a blessing. But does anyone know HOW MANY CHILDREN DIED OF STARVATION on this planet today without a choice also? Is this republican committee that is so concerned all of a sudden with these issues of LIFE RAISING THIS QUESTION?

Or how about the WAR PROTESTS this weekend? Wlll we see any air-play on that? A whole lotta life saving issues for this government to focus on ya know, maybe if we focused our attention in the right direction we might even be able to save a few more of um ya know?
