19. Here's my response...
You're having a three hour show... on what exactly?

On how you can prostitute the sad tragedy of a young woman's death for higher ratings?

Do you read your own polls? Do you not realize that the majority of Americans actually respect the Constitution, value the rule of law and separation of church and state, and want no interference in their 'end of life' issues?

I am at a loss to understand how this sad story ever made it to a national news story. Every day, scores of people go through what Terri and her family have gone through, including the 'guardianship' battles. Yet, we do not see right wing Christians amassing outside other hospices, or hospitals, slandering the husbands and wives inside as 'murderers', and holding prayer vigils!

Here's a thought: Why don't you spend three hours discussing why we invaded a country, without provocation and under false pretenses, and how we can prevent our soldiers from coming home in the same state as Terri Shiavo. The number of seriously wounded, brain damaged soldiers grows by the day, and we CAN do something about that.
