Letter to Kathleen Parker, addled "Dispatch" columnist
Geez, Ms. Parker,
I'm just a local gadfly, and I don't find it odd at all that the Terri-all-the-time situation should be deemed political.
If it were a moral question, the legislature should have addressed the BROADER question – not limited it to Terri’s case. If “life” were a priority, they’d have to address universal health care as well. They’d have to over-rule the Texas law George Bush supported that kills folks who can’t PAY to stay alive.
You won’t get the discussion you want. Politics trumps morality. Politicians can make a “deal” out of a limited situation that, among other things, takes the heat off Bug Man, but PLEASE!!! Don’t increase the size of government that Grover (Norquist – not the cute blue guy on Sesame Street) wants to drown in a bathtub.
