Today I was reminded of a sad reality. Just over two years ago
we, that is all in American society, murdered Terri Schiavo. The
pundits and media bozos mostly chimed in, saying that it would be too
costly to keep her alive. Forget about the fact of so many here
without citizenship. They do so much work that Americans
supposedly refuse, yet apparently no one could persuade any of them to
take care of a healthy but fragile person who happened to be one of our
citizens. I watched it happening live via satellite
technology. Ironic that we consider our society so advanced
technologically that those entrusted with taking care of the
weak, in reality a responsibility of any man including this woman's
husband, were instead doing the opposite, everything to cause her to
die through dehydration. Sickening but true. I was three
thousand miles from the event yet it felt like being next door. I
witnessed a few there keeping vigil, with whom I had been acquainted
years before in defending life. If those in government
can't be responsible enough to protect the weakest members of society, who
needs them? Who needed Hitler? They who have refused to act
have forfeited their right to govern, from the highest offices on
down. A few in Congress did the right thing. But this was
an emergency situation requiring our state and federal authorities to
act immediately and they failed to do so, after the collapse of justice
in our court system. Such cowards. Now we, that is all
Americans, have apparently become incapable of even undertaking a
simple criminal investigation into two more suspicious deaths because
of our self-serving judges' refusal as a matter of habit to use the power
entrusted in them to protect the weak. No, the great superpower
must wait for justice from our neighbors offshore. No one in our
government apparently is capable of acting like a man anymore.
