When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Thinking about all the fooforah over Terry Schiavo, and I just can't imagine what her parents and their supporters are thinking.
In the case where there's no one home, they're squandering a huge amount of resources that could be used to actually help someone who's still around.
In the case where there is someone there, I can't think of a worse torture than being locked in a body with no way to interact with anyone or anything. I would go stark raving mad within a month. It would be like being buried alive. Anyone who kept me alive under those circumstances is my enemy, not my friend.
No matter how you cut it, it's doing no one any favors except the self delusional, the ones who love publicity and the politicians grandstanding over it. And if their constituents have any sense, it'll be their last grandstand...
