I never thought I would say that I am ashamed to be an American….. I’ve always thought we, as Americans, lived in the greatest nation on Earth…. We are a free, compassionate, loving people, who consider ourselves as the protectors of Freedom and justice for the world… ….Or so I thought until the recent despicable chain of events going on at this very moment in Florida……<\/p>\n
Terri Schiavo – What the Hell are we doing?….. We, as Americans, are starving a human being to death, in a hospital, in front of the entire world, and doing nothing about it…..<\/p>\n
I don’t care about all the why’s, wherefore’s, and legal BS that led to this decision…… What I care about is how we, as a people, can actually let this happen…. Do you realize that if you starved your pet in this manner, you would be arrested?….. We treat mass murderers better!….. They are given a last meal of their choice, put to sleep so they feel no pain before they are injected with a lethal dose of drugs…. What the Hell did Terri Schiavo do to deserve this?…..<\/p>\n
What we have done (and we, as a nation, MUST take the blame) is to condemn a human being to death…… Why don’t the judges, doctors, lawyers, politicians, and citizens admit this and execute her just as they would any other criminal (Oh, yeah, she’s NOT a criminal, I guess that’s the problem?)?… Instead, thay claim that by “pulling the plug” they are allowing this person to die a “natural” death….. I’m sorry, I don’t consider straving and dying of thirst as natural…. Why didn’t they just throw her out in the swamp somewhere and be done with it….<\/p>\n
Can you image what it would be like to watch your son, daughter, or loved one slowly die in this manner?….. I think that I would probably be arrested for the actions I would take….<\/p>\n
