Unflappable-Certainty-Heads Unite

And once you've all united, tie yourselves together, weight yourself with lead and go jump off a bridge - I promise I won't interfere.

In my previous post I said that I had no idea what the right answer might be when it comes to vegetative comas - and that still holds. What I DO know, however, is that it's time for everybody - the Pope, Congress, the President, the Vigil-Holders, the Right-to-Lifers, the Right-to-Deathers, the "Up with Down" movement and, of course, their mortal enemies the "Down with Up" militia - to please have a little decorum and shut the fuck up.

But of them all the one who most must start shutting the fuck up immediately is this guy, Rev. Frank Pavone, who said the following in reference to Michael Schiavo:

''And so his heartless cruelty continues until this very last moment,'' said the Rev. Frank Pavone. He added: ''This is not only a death, with all the sadness that brings, but this is a killing, and for that we not only grieve that Terri has passed but we grieve that our nation has allowed such an atrocity as this and we pray that it will never happen again.''

If I ever am in a coma - please keep this man far away from my bedside - because God knows that if he's around he'll be resuscitating the shit out of me with arrogant zeal; no thought to anything but the weird little janglings and whirrings of his insitinctive "love of life above all else".

When did Christians get so freakishly Pagan? I thought they were into the idea of the soul and the body as earthly vessel. But then of course they also really get off on that suffering thing. Perverts.

The woman is dead. It is sad by any standard. Have the decency to shut up, all of you.

That now includes me.

observations:
1) "must start shutting the fuck up" reminds me of that scene in magnolia where julianne moore is talking to the pharmacist and going all batshit and says something like "oh now you must REEEEEEALLY shut the fuck up!!!"

2) also... it kinda looks like that picture of the (presumed) female with the tape over her mouth is smiling.

ps: yeah, the grammar in that last comment of mine was messed up. the PERSON looks like she's smiling, not the picture. i rite 4 money!!!!!
