really really really bad taste. I mean it.

Is it a sign of just how cynical I've gotten that a big part of me is wondering if now Terri Schiavo's parents and their cronies in the religious right who have exploited her for political gain are pissed that she's no longer the biggest death-related news story of the day?

Thank you.

Mother Teresa wasn't the devil, but neither was she God. She's someone who was quoted more than once as saying that suffering was good because it drew people closer to God, and as such people who left her order said she frowned upon giving painkillers to those who were hurting.

right. she was one of the stricter catholics out there, it would seem. once upon a time most of them thought as she did. thankfully that is no longer the case, except maybe concerning birth control and abortion. although, even that merited no commentary nor Official Stance until women started making serious strides towards equality.
