When the Strong Protect the Weak
I believe that our society can only be as strong as the support given to its weakest member. I believe the weak and vulnerable are worthy of a level of care that would speak to the dignity of the human experience. I believe that the care we extend to others would be the care we would hope for ourselves. The weak, are best accompanied by the strong. It is time for the strong to support the family of Terri Schiavo in the quest to keep her from a court-mandated death. It is time for the strong to provide a vocal and public bulwark of defense against the death culture that undergirds and finances Mr. Schiavo in his quest to kill his wife.
We would do well to remember the words of Benjamin Franklin: "Kings have long arms, but misfortune longer; Let none think of themselves out of her reach". Misfortune may come looking for you some day. Who will be your voice?

Isn't that an awesome bit of writing? Tammy has really impressed me.
She has managed to sum up the enire reason that we as a society need to fight for Terri and others like her in two short paragraphs.
