Liberty

Watching the coverage of the Teri Schivo case. Jeb Bush made an either odd or stupid statement, call it what you will. He said, as close as I can remember, 'While I understand people may have differing views on this, I think we as a society ought to value life.' Well hell yes! I think the people who don't value life are definitely the bad guys. The problem is we have the same situation on this end as we do at the other end of "life". That is, when is it a "life". Is she for all practical purposes at the end of her life?
If a person MUST be kept alive as long as they stay warm what kind of numbers might we have at some point? I'm not saying we should have an expiration date. As a matter of fact I think we should do all we can to keep people alive if that is what is wished. This man has made a moral decision. Not moral by right or wrong but moral as in personal decision on what is right. The idea that the government should be pushing people around like this is outrageous . These truly are the radical republicans. This is not a life case, this is a "life" case. Disagree with his decision if you wish. Vow you would never do the same thing, but with the factors in this case as they are it sure looks to me like the rethugs are pushing there morality as what should be law. Do we really want to go here? This is why we must be a nation of laws and not theocracy. Do you really value individual liberty or are you one that just mouths the words? Lets take the spin and emotionalism out of this for a moment. Can't the family work this out? If not what should the law be on who makes the decision? If we are to have individual liberty those are the questions we must answer. So I say to you, what is the answer.
