One Of These Quotes Is Not Like The Other
You know where else they did it, in a way, was during the Terri Schiavo thing. That's when I thought we had finally lost our minds. All through the Terri Schiavo thing I thought, Well, this is it, this is ... we've really finally snapped. And then they started doing polls, and you found out that 80 percent of the country, including the Bible Belt, thought the government should stay out of our hospital rooms. And then I went, "Oh, we're still here. Our country's still alive."

I'm not often found in front of a television, but last week I did see a retrospective of the events and consequences of Katrina and its aftermath.
One horrifying story I had not originally heard showed a New Orleans hospital attempting to care for its patients, without water, without electricity, without a timeline for rescue. The patients were moved to rooftop and the staff doled out care as best it could with dwindling supplies. One of the nurses said "We ask the patient if they know their name. If they say 'yes' and can say it, we continue to give them treatment. If they don't respond..."
It struck me that here was a situation where human life was at great risk, indeed where stark choices were being made out of a necessity as the days without rescue went by. Surely those who prayed and brayed about the sanctity of life at Terri Shiavo's hospital will rise up in righteous anger at a government that allowed this to happen?
I'm sure they will, just as soon as the roads are made passable enough for their limos to get through.
