Where's the peace and dignity in living as a vegetable?
BEFORE the feeding tube was removed Terri Schiavo suffered from kidney stones, gall stones, "drop foot" (which required the amputation of one of her toes), and neck cysts. Oh yeah, and her brain's deteriorating.
Looks like a persistant vegetative state is not the peaceful, super dignified life everyone thinks it is.
Next time, don't be so glib.
In a recent development in Florida, the vegetative Terri Shiavo muttered the following utterance to an attorney present at her bedside:
AAAHHHHHHH WAAAAAAAAAA TLOOOOOOOOOOOSE F-F-F-FORRRRRRRRRRRDI P-P-P-POUNZ!!!
Dagon finds it rather ironic, not to mention highly comical, that armies of religious picketers are fighting to feed a woman who caused her own massive brain loss by binging and purging. That's right, Terri, just look at all the weight you've gained in the last 15 years of us CURING YOUR BULIMIA.
Yes, the sight of the ghastly, shriveled Shiavo has prompted more pitiful outpouring than twenty primetime commercial spots of pot-bellied Ethiopian "don't-cha-wish-we-had-abortion-here" kids with flies eating out their eyeballs. Dagon even feels bad for Terri when he recalls that her greatest achievement in the last decade was to follow a balloon around the room with her eyes. Just remember though Terri, "It's what's on the inside that counts (even if you don't have an inside)."
BULLSHIT. Dagon learned somewhere around 3rd grade that the inside is just the confectionary on the jelly donut (Terri, want a jelly donut?). Put it this way: If Terri were hot, guys would be lining up to picket the hospice and fight for who got to bang her first. If Michael Shiavo would get his wife a haircut (damnit), some Gucci earrings, and maybe a Prada purse to hold her colostomy bag, there wouldn't be scores of you mouthbreathers feeling so sorry for her.
Fact is, people get taken off life-support every day, and not all of them have the combined cognizance of two chocolate laxatives. So why don't you all just go plan another weekend revival retreat instead of butting in on a private family case that is 15 years old.
