Yeah, I'm just that pissed off
I've said it before, I'm sure I'll say it again: Fuck Tom Delay.
Let me state 10 basic, undisputable facts about the Terri Schiavo situation.
1) Her cerebral cortex is pretty much gone. That doesn't grow back.
2) People in persistent vegetative states have expressions and motions that often fool their families into thinking they're responding.
3) 19 judges have ruled on this case and Michael Schiavo has won every time.
4) Michael Schiavo will recieve no money (actually, disputably, maybe up to $50,000) after her death. He has refused millions of dollars to divorce Terri and give control to her parents, who will then do what he does not believe she would want.
5) This has been going on for 15 years. Congress got involved 3 days ago. That's how much they care about the situation.
6) The courts have found that having the tube removed is what Terri wants, not what Michael wants. This was her choice.
7) No court has found any evidence of abuse and certainly not any evidence that Michael Schiavo tried to kill Terri.
8) Terri Schiavo is not in a coma. She is in a persistent vegetative state. Huge difference. This isn't Pat Boone's son we're talking about.
9) Those videos of a few seconds of apparent response are taken from several hours in which Terri responds only at random.
10) She is not in pain. She does not feel pain. Death by starvation will be painless, peaceful, and humane, however unpleasant it may sound to us.
Turn on your TV. Count how many of these facts Republican assholes get wrong.
Damn, I am so pissed off right now.
