Subject: RE: BS: Vegatative Woman Shuts Down US Gov't...
I was thinking yesterday that if I started a thread about this situation, I'd title it, "Dear Terri, I'm Sorry."
Sorry no one really knows what's right and is operating on reactive emotion;
Sorry your privacy has been so invaded;
Sorry it's taking so long to let you go;
Sorry it's not taking long enough to decide this really well;
..........
Stuff like that. No, not "sorry" as a personal responsibility exactly-- except that as voting members of a society we all bear some responsibility here-- not fault, but responsibility...
What I thought was that really, being filled with regret about every aspect of this is just about the only "right" response.
