Let the bitch die

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it ironic that it was an eating disorder that put Terry Schiavo in her current state, and here we are arguing over whether or not to starve her to death? Seems to me that's what she did in the first place. Only not so well.
Euthanasia. The right to die. That there is a pretty damn heavy and personal decision. Not one for the courts, not one for the masses, not one for the churches. I think we would all do ourselves a great service by just staying the Hell out of the way and let this thing play out. If her husband has to answer to God for it, he will. He doesn't need to answer to us.
To throw some perspective on this story, take a gander at this. What would Jesus do? Probably climb down off that tree and dope slap all his dumb ass followers.
I sit in a lot of traffic on the way to work, and I've been noticing more and more fish emblems. Is there a whole Creationism movement going on? Add the whole national brouhaha over gay marriage, and this country is starting to look a little scary.
The first amendment to the Constitution reads as follows..."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I'd like to suggest a 28th Amendment "As Congress is prohibited from making laws for or against any establishment of religion, so shall all establishments of religion STAY THE FUCK OUT OF LAW!" Quid pro quo, or am I wrong?
