 Cynical Indeed, Walter...It's amazing that you of all people would post an 
article
from someone who applauds the decision of the Democrats to save Elian Gonzalez
from his Cuban-exile family's claws, yet paints the Terry Shiavo case as
government entering "into a family's most private affairs"... When it suits her 
of
course.

This  wreaks so badly of hypocrisy that I'm plugging my nose as I write...
