Sympathizing with Terri

Maybe you're having trouble, like I am, understanding how the protesters outside the hospice center where Terri Schiavo currently is can continue such embarrassing displays of self-righteous idiocy, crying and wailing and praying and holding big FEED TERRI! signs and shaking giant spoons at the cameras, and insisting that it's God's will to keep a vegetative woman alive via a robot feeding machine. Though she didn't ask to be at the center of such invasive political manipulation, I do find myself feeling sympathetic toward Terri. Especially since I saw this photo from her wedding in 1990.

If that mother of hers had any hand in selecting that dress, and that hat, she clearly has some problems in exercising good judgement.
