Open Letter to America
On Terri Schiavo's Plight
From David Chu

3-24-5
Dear America -
Up until today, I have been a dispassionate and passive observer in
the life and death of Terri Schiavo, as most Americans have. I am not
a citizen of this nation but I live and work here. As an outsider and
foreigner looking in, I offer my perspective on this pivotal issue of
whether Terri Schiavo lives or dies. As I write on March 23, the
chance of Terri surviving much longer without her feeding tube being
reinserted is quickly diminishing.
Let me state the facts and not the spins and half-truths of those who
have a vested interest in the death of Terri Schiavo. Terri is a
person who is not on life support and she is not a comatose patient
kept alive by artificial or mechanical means. Terri is a disable
person who requires food and water to survive--just as all of us do.
But she needs extra help because she is disabled. Terri is capable of
saying "Mommy" and "Help Me." Terri can breathe on her own. These
irrefutable facts are not the signs of a "vegetable," "brain dead," or
"comatose" person that the mainstream media keeps repeating over and
over again as though their spin is reality. (ABC Caught: Schiavo Poll
Distorted by Michelle Malkin)
Has over 30 years of Americans aborting their unwanted, unborn
children so desensitized them that they can no longer determine right
from wrong? Where is the compassion for the disabled? Will Terri's
death be the starting point on that slippery sliding slope in the
euthanasia of the disabled and unwanted people in America?
Has America become a giant football/reality show where people in the
Red States think and believe one thing and those in the Blue States
the other--neither sides seeking the truth? Have Americans become so
brainwashed by the mainstream media and the two political parties that
everything becomes a political football of whose side you are on? Not
about what is the right thing to do in a particular situation? Not
about what is the right thing to do in Terri Schiavo's plight?
Has the rule of law in America become so hollow and so brittle? Where
is the "compassionate conservatism"? Where is the "bleeding heart
liberalism"? Has the application of the laws in America become like
those of Nazi Germany where the police and courts are just taking
orders and following the law? Where will this end up?
Has the president of the greatest and most powerful nation on this
planet become so impotent and so powerless as to not be able to save
the life of one individual in America? Do we honestly believe that if
Jenna or Barbara, the twin daughters of President Bush, were in the
exact situation as Terri Schiavo is now that President Bush wouldn't
"kick some butt"to save them?
Finally, have the American people forgotten the admonishment from
Moses: "I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse;
therefore choose life."
If Terri Schiavo dies at the hands of her husband and the court system
of America, I am afraid that her death will mark the beginning of the
end of America as that beacon of hope and freedom and liberty for this
world. What a sad day that shall be.
Most regretfully yours,
David Chu

Who the ***** is David Chu when he's at home?
Not that it makes any difference, but clearly he'll be one of the
nutcases angrily marching somewhere about something when this incurable
vegetable pops her clogs in the next day or so.

I figured you were a piece of ***** hiding behind religion. Morals
should take precedence over Politics, but alas it is happening in the
US so politics and who will make the most money out of this mess will
prevail. Sad,Sad world we are living in.

What are you bleating about now?
It's funny to hear you whining about this and other causes by proxy. If
you have a point (and its hard to tell if you do), why don't you say it
in person instead of spamming extremely dubious "articles" that you
scraped off the web?
Here, let's get the ball rolling.

Wrong start. Terri is not a vegetable. She is not on a lung-heart machine to
keep
her alive. She breaths by her own and her heart beats by its own. This means
she is alive and certainly not a plant, since plants don't have beating
hearts.
And how do you know Terri's wish will be respected? I have not heard on the
news that she had signed any legal document regarding euthanesia. At the
same
time her husband could well be interested in het life-insurance policy.
Kind Regards,
Barbarossa

As a citizen of America I
must agree that sadly
my country is falling apart
and this is just one pitiful
example of it's falling apart.
It's cewrtainly clear to me that
her husband is and/or has
murdered her with the blessings of 82% of the people of the USA.
To me - this is a great disgrace
and as one of the 18%
that wants her to live - I
really feel that my country
is a total disaster in progress.
