Also - does anyone honestly think that anybody would give a damn about this if her last name was Mohammed instead of Schiavo, and she was Iraqi instead of Floridian? I love how when its a white woman with a cranium full of cerebro-spinal soup, the Culture of Life is up in arms, but when its Iraqis - with whole brains - undergoing the exact same, or worse tortures, it's just some "frat boy pranks".
I don't mean to be funny, but I think that if she did not have that perpetually smiling look and were instead looking sullen, people would not have as much sympathy for her. Its like the activists at the animal shelter who cry for the puppies and kittens more than for the stray pugs and mutts and alley cats.
