"The courts have consistently found that she did not want to be kept alive artificially," said George Felos, the lawyer for Ms. Schiavo's husband, Michael, who successfully petitioned to disconnect the feeding tube that had sustained his severely brain-damaged wife.

I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

Do you know in China they skin animals alive and in Wisconsin some guy injected acid into peoples veins and ended up eating them.
I hate the News, it always sucks and it always glorifies human life.
Folks we are the same as the animal hit by a car on the side of the road kicking in pain.
Who really gives a fuck tomorrow ?
