So far, I've resisted the temptation to sound off about Terry Schiavo. It's really none of my business.
But I am really getting tired of Terry Schiavo. No, that's not right. What I'm getting tired of is this irrational, ever-intensifying obsession with Terry Schiavo. As with so many issues, what caused it to crystalize in my mind was a question asked by Rush Limbaugh.
But I don't think I arrived at the answer Limbaugh wanted me to make. Neal Boortz wrote an answer for Townhall.com, but it's the wrong answer too. Poor Neal. And now, he says, Sean Hannity won't even return his calls about this issue.
Limbaugh asked, "Why do you people want Terry Schiavo to die?"
What arrogance. As if anyone can prevent it at this late date.
Terry Schiavo died on February 25, 1990. Her remains have been maintained in a grotesque parody of life for over fifteen years. Thanks to modern medical science, it appears that they could continue to achieve this zombie-like state indefinitely, if they wished, for as long as the money holds out. So far, over twenty judges have ruled that enough is too much.
The woman died fifteen years ago. Isn't it about time to bury her?
