Man, I have a gift for metting out and understanding quite provocative and
outlandish analogies, but this one is so streched, its transparent in the
middle and 1000 times its original size.

The two cases are only related in that both have Florida as epicenter.

The similarities of content stop there.

As you point out, the media and the Crusaders have turned it into yet
another "wedge" issue and hence there is some inevitable cross-polinisation
within liberalism with doe swho defended the rigtheous wishes of Elian's
father for him to return to his next of kind, and those who defend the
righteous wishes of Terri Schiavo's immediate next of kind to have a
merciful death. Yet this is a superficial similarity of form.

It is very dishonest of you to state otherwise, and a cheap sectarian jab.
