Outrageous

This was said about Terry Schiavo's feeding tube being removed:

"A woman is being starved to death, and I have to do something," said Brandi
Swindell, 28, from Boise, Idaho. "There are just certain things that you have to
do, that you have to try."


That's the biggest load of bullshit ever. What has this Brandi Swindell from Idaho done about the kids that have been starving for months now? The kids that have never eaten a proper meal in their lives? You don't have to do it, Brandi Swindell. Nobody does. Not as long as nobody has to do the same for the millions of kids out their whose only mistake was being born into a tough situation.

There are thousands, millions maybe, fighting for Terry Schiavo. I won't comment on the case itself. But Brandi, will you please fight for those kids? Will anyone care when their food has been cut off and their paernts have to watch as their children grow up malnourished and underdeveloped?
