Reflections of a stormy petrel

I defriended someone on the spot when I found her spouting the press' lies about Terri Schiavo. Of course, I knew about the fraud of so-called "permanent vegetative states" long before, and besides, I cannot imagine how anyone can possibly read any account, however biased, of what Michael Schiavo did and said, and have any doubt that he is wife-killer (God help his accomplice and current wife when he gets tired of her.) But there is no point in trying to argue with right-to-murder advocates. In my experience, these people cannot be reasoned with, because their "opinions" are not based on evidence but on the wilful refusal of evidence. Some of them are scientists, too - particularly depressing.
