She’s Gone…

It’s over, but it’s not really over. If I were a praying man, I would pray for the family and for Terri, but probably not for the husband. Maybe I’m doing him a disservice, but I suspect not. There are just too many questions about his conduct, and I welcome a sympathetic education if anyone [...]

White Smoke Anyday Now?

Pope needs feeding tube Do I really have to compare and contrast? There are certainly differences in brain function between the two, but is this considered an artificial means of support? If the pope grew too weak to communicate or too palsied to write down his wishes, what would be the proper course of action [...]

Take Care When Illustrating Hypocrisy

This is another Schiavo related post, but it has more to do with the arguments found on one particular side of the issue. Several bloggers have pointed out what they see as an inconsistency in the position of the religious right. If there is a God and a heaven, then why the overwhelming desire to [...]

More than two-thirds of people who describe themselves as evangelicals and conservatives disapprove of the intervention by Congress and President Bush in the case of the Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman [...]

Terri Schiavo…Now The Issue Gets Deeper

I haven’t commented much on Terri Schiavo, mostly because the notion that she should be kept alive seemed self-evident to me. I have pointed you over to The Bandwagon where Jody has been doing a yeoman’s job banging a drum much in need of banging. But now that the issue is moving forward, I feel [...]

The Terri Schiavo Case

I first heard of the Schiavo case back when I frequently listened to Glenn Beck. Unfortunately for Glenn, his show was one of those things that didn’t make the final cut when it came to my assessment of time priorities. Love the show, but lacked the time for it. Anyway, the Schiavo case is back [...]
