Some Good Rants

An atheist and liberal, Blue-Eyed Infidel has a series of (currently) 6 good rants in quite colorful language about the Schiavo case, beginning here, that just get progressively better.

She wonders about people who

truly think it's wrong to let her live in a PVS state because she is capable of suffering by persisting in that state, but it's okay to starve her to death, because she is incapable of suffering from the long, slow, painful death of dehydration and starvation.

Or, after posting a precious picture of a tiny dog and a chick together, remarks:

Cute little buggers. You'd get in a lot of trouble if you tried to starve them though. Just so's you know, that whole Terri Schiavo thing where she's being starved to death, it doesn't really translate over to animals. You still have to treat them humanely and stuff.

Speaking of, it also turns out - according to "most medical experts" on CNN and Fox - that dying by dehydration and starvation is actually painless and "peaceful", not traumatic or uncomfortable. Which has fascinating implications doesn't it? For example, what's the big deal about all those starving kids in Africa? Hell they're fine!
