My sympathies of course but, I'm tired of talking about this Terri issue
and nothing else.

You know this IS a big issue, but I would really like to hear much more discussion about:

1. What the F*** we can do to avoid eating out of dumpsters when the
economy tanks.

2. How we can keep our country from starting illegal wars and then
having our press, hands down, try to convince us it's about
democracy. The real issue is the PNAC agenda of global
domination which pretends to be about democracy so we all
shut our mouths and pat ourselves on the back and send our
children to die in war of conquests.

-I'm sorry the Terri case is a medium issue at best but, it will be
quickly forgotten when %50 of Americans could be jobless and homeless
in the next few years.

1. Oh hell yes
I totally agree. The whole point to this issue is to distract us from the real problems in America - problems the Bush Administration has no interest in solving.

3. Hey, nice web site, Bryant...
Sorry you don't have more traffic but you've obviously been doing this for a long time.

Where are you located?

5. Northern Florida
Thank you for the compliment.

It comes and goes as far as hits go--just having a quiet time--but it'll pick back up.

2. The Schiavo case is probably a medium issue at best
but what the Republicans have done with it is HUGE !!!

They are trying to subvert the Constitution.

4. You don't think they subverted the constitution in the Terri Schiavo
situation?

Are you unaware of the precedent this sets for all our civil rights ?

6. I guess they HAVE already subverted it if they are
getting away with it.

7. You must hate America.
I have no doubt that you have burned American flags and are likely a communist. There is no other explanation for your turning your back on Terrimania.

13. I Agree
This appears to be a ploy to cover other atrocities such as Iraq. If she is on Medicaid, how many people who might truly benefit from the diverted funds are being under served and perhaps dying? If this is all privately funded, by all means, they should spend the money as they see fit.
