Too little, too late... "Where there is no vision, the people perish..."

This Holy Week truly is a Passion for many of us. Not only is our country participating in the direct killing of an innocent person (Terri Schiavo), but they are doing so in such a way that she will painfully die of starvation, dehydration, and all the accompanying suffering that accompanies this slow, agonizing way of dying. If we put deathrow inmates to death this way, there would be an uproar, but no, not for Terri.

Think about this as well. What took the Republicans and the few Democrats who supported them so long to finally make their last ditch effort to save Terri? Don't tell me they hadn't heard about the case. Don't tell me they couldn't have pushed for this earlier. Supposedly we elected them because they had foresight, vision, and were men and women of integrity who would stand up for the good of society. This kind of effort only makes them look good to a naive public, and assures them of votes next time around. Think about it. At least the politicians who voted against this measure have had the guts to be pro-death all along. I don't commend them at all, and they actually tick me off. But I don't commend supposed pro-life politicians who have no guts and no vision either. Too little, too late, and too bad, because we are all going to be held accountable in the end.
