Has the Schiavo case Become a Political Football?

au, I think you're gonna have difficulty esplain'g this one.

For example if someone were to put a price on the head of one the politicians on the other side of the fence. Take your pick.

Like the Michael Jackson trial.

If one post really says it all, this is it. You have just confirmed my belief that I am on the right side.

Geez, Brandon, is your skull really that thick?

Thick enough to think that a woman's tragic death should not be belittled and joked about, yes.

It is undeniable that any large group contains a few people who are unworthy. If it actually is a tiny minority, any attempt to imply that it betrays a fundamental unworthiness of the group is invalid. It would be an invalid statistical inference in any case. I can only hope that I would not make a point I knew to be logically wrong to advance my agenda.

The complication here, though, is that this man may consider the Judge to be guilty of murdering an innocent person. It's a complex issue, but I would certainly not defend an attempt to do injury to the Judge. If I believed the Judge was morally guilty of murder, I would try to work within the system to make what he did impossible in the future.

If things had been reversed would you be speaking out of the other side of your mouth?

I would like to answer you, but I need you to clarify the question. What do you mean, "if things had been reversed?"
If you mean, had Terri been allowed to live, would I be taunting the people who wanted her to die, this is one of a small number of issues on which I would refrain from so doing, since the topic is so tragic.
