Was she all of these things? Sure she was… All and none of them… According to the prevailing punditry of all sides she is and was whatever sort of ideological paragon they need her to be in order to advance their own perverted agenda.
To us she is simply a woman lingering in a persistent vegetative state whose fate is a private affair.
Ask yourself how many people are left to die in alleys? How many starving people are in Detroit; homeless, and shivering inside a Zenith 50” television box? How many people need blood? Bone Marrow? A new liver? How many souls simply want for a simple human act of reassurance, a hello and a smile? Maybe instead of marching simply to get 15 minutes of limelight or a few thousand more hits on a website, the passionate protestors could do something charitable in her name and the memory of her long term suffering. Naw… that’s something Christ might have done…
Fuck it… when she finally expires they will just find a new tree to hug or a new bible to thump.
True enough... How would lobbyists make a living if common sense was actually "common"? But I didn't write this one alone. Vince helped.
