Britain versus America aside, I feel lost regarding this hysteria about Mrs. Shiavo. I am a cancer survivor in my seventies, and I have given plenty of thought about the inevitability of the end of life. When I underwent my most recent cancer surgery, I left specific, written instructions that, if my husband felt that the situation were hopeless, then all medical treatment was to be stopped. This specifically included hydration and feeding t

The military families we know almost all talk about basic military needs not being met for the soldiers. A year ago, when I talked to non-military people this, they did not believe me, but over for the last couple months, people seem to understand it is the case and they want something done about it. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think the Rumsfeld incident got so much attention because of the one

I thought I was just being reasonable, way up near the top of this thread, but returning several days later, I see I caused a whole lot of trouble. Dabe, I do not see what you find so upsetting about my post. As a woman who has been on this earth a long, long time, I can honestly say that we all base on our views on something -- experience, logic, science, parents, friends, statistics, scripture, or whatever. Personally, I believe that the d

Obviously, this particular person has so little following that one has to question why someone would choose to provide it with air time. I assume that the goal is either to fan hatreds or raise ratings, because no such movement exists. However, the Pat Robertsons have, to a large extent, been incited to behave this way by the treatment of atheism over the last 50 years. Atheists simply cannot have it both ways -- if they claim that freedom o

obsessing over the Convention only serves to benefit the terrorist enemy. The Geneva Convention is humanity's best effort to international morality, and it should be followed mostly because it is of benefit to ourselves. Like it or not, we are going to be called upon to fight wars over the years, and th

It amazes and saddens me that some people seem to shrug off what happened on 9/11. Ohh, come on, you sound like too reasonable a person to get your undies all scrunched up like that. NO ONE is shrugging off 9/11, it was an act of war. But terrorism has been a part of the world back to Biblical times.

I think that those of us who are repulsed by abortion have to realize that making it illegal may not be the practical or effective way of saving lives. I wish that our country would pass a constitutional amendment: 1) guaranteeing any woman the right to seek an abortion 2) forbidding the use of tax money to fund abortions 3) guaranteeing free, quality medical care throughout pregnancy and delivery, assuming that she does not abort

The terrorists didn't just ignore the rule book that day, they tore it up and threw it in our faces. You are telling yourself one of America's favorite current myths. Terrorism is not new. We used it in our own Revolutionary War, and it wasn't new then. Anyway, we are not limiting our tortur
