The sad reality about what you have written
Is that you are absolutely correct. First it was John Benet, O.J. Simpson, Jessica Lynch, Martha Stewart, Scott Peterson everyday of our miserable lives, then Blakely and now Shiavo and the Pope. People just live for gossip it seems. Good story Chris.

You're right. In fact, I've already been asked to play the part of the feeding tube. I'll need to borrow some Anal-Eze - ran out yesterday.

Couple of years for the movie???
This is the US of A, pal. The
Made-for-TV Miniseries starts production next week. Only 275 episodes; 4 featuring the parents, 270 featuring people gushing over a head of lettuce in a hospital bed, and one of Jesse Jackson getting caught with a nurse under the bed.

I forgot about the movie, I suppose it will be a couple of years yet until they release it. It'll be "controversial", no doubt.something to stir the emotions of the mindless dead, a.k.a the general populace. Hooray!

Yeah, well unless the tele points it out then it's not worth fake caring for, especially if there are no explosions involved.

Well if nothing else at least they're consistent. The religious hypocrites, that is.

Chris, it ain't over til the movie of the week comes out on tv.
You
know that's gotta be in the makes already. I live in a neighboring county of Schiavo's hospice and they actually had to bus kids from a school nearby to a different school cause of all the chaos. Nearby businesses were losing money cause customers couldn't get through the streets. Idiots. Some people even flew in from other states to protest! Good God, don't these people have jobs? Lives? Obligations? And what the fuck did Jesse Jackson think
he was gonna do? Who the hell that guy thinks he is is beyond me. A selfish publicity stunt...again. Regardless, Terry's been dead for over 15 years. It's just that she was finally able to come back to claim her body.

Chris, we always feel more important when we can use someone's misfortune
to raise funds and spout off our religious beliefs. Good post.

If you lived in the States the Good Squad would put you on the ...
enemies list. The religious hypocrites used Schaivo to raise money and denegrate "liberals," a liberal of course being anyone who doesn't think like them.

Thanks for the tribute, liked that choice of song. I don't really think anyone would be bothered enough to argue. Wear 'em down, see.

Yeah, it just seems that people don't actually know why they're making such a fuss over the situation. They seem to have an opinion but why? Strange, but familiar...

Wow, what a strong post
Sadly, you are right in many ways. There are far worse things happening in this world, and it is very dificult to care about all of them!
