Shiavo protester holds 6-ft plastic spoon that says, "Please feed Terri."
Are these people completely bonkers?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,150984,00.html

Outside the hospice, a subdued crowd of about 50 people prayed and sang behind signs bearing such slogans as "Let Terri Live" and "President Bush Please Save Terri." One man played "Amazing Grace" on a trumpet, as a pickup truck pulled a trailer bearing 10-foot-high replicas of the stone Ten Commandments tablets and a huge working version of the Liberty Bell.

Will Svab, 24, of Seminole, held a 6-foot plastic foam spoon bearing the words "Please Feed Terri."

6. Does that person think she can be fed with a spoon?
Perhaps that is part of the problem. People do not know what her condition is.

7. They firght for a woman who's family has a quarrel
while they qietly pull the plug on a child who has an insane mother who named him Sun after his father, The Sun. Pull the Plug on a man who's family can't afford to pay for him who is in a nearly identical state as T-S.

The difference, in those cases it's the state vs the family, they're both in Texas though, you know, that KINDER! GENTLER! (GOD DAMMIT!) State that is removing these people's lifeline by a writ from the chimp in '99.

Personally, I think I would pull the plug in all three cases if I were the family... BUT, I respect the right to choose for yourself, to let someone have the power of attourney and not rewrite the laws to appease a bunch of fundy nutcases when pushing forward an illegal occupation and trampling on people's rights more and more.

16. Will judge Greer hear this case again...if this passes in the house?
Do you know?

Does the case return to this same judge?

If it does return to Greer--and the Republicans understand this, as they are engaging in this hyperbolic mockery--then this means they truly are grandstanding and pandering.
