Much has already been said about the Terri Schiavo case by David, Rachel, Nathan, and every single other person on Earth with a website, so I don't feel the need to rehash it all again. The people who look the most ridiculous in all of the proceedings are, as is the case with all celebrity or high-profile cases, the dopes who skip work to protest outside the courthouse. I can't imagine going to my manager and saying "sorry boss, I'm going to leave work early today so I can go to the courthouse and parade around with red tape over my mouth, a metaphor to symbolize the fact that I have nothing more constructive to do with my life."

The real loser in this whole sordid affair is Terri's husband, who not only had to endure years of watching a shell of his wife suffering but not comprehending anything but now has to watch her starve to death because the law prevents him from doing the humane thing and having her lethally injected. And now, even though polls show that the majority of the country supports him, he will be a persecuted everywhere he goes by people who will claim that he killed his wife.
