Instapundit discusses the high emotions surrounding Terri Schiavo's death and the venom that has spewed forth on all sides. We'll note that the post below isn't exactly cotton candy and lemonade. But it is intended, however unsuccessfully, to highlight the oddity of the situation in a darkly humorous way.
We mention this in order to add that venomous commentary is one thing, but venom toward the commentators themselves is another matter. Michael Schiavo and his future wife's family are free to send me hate mail. Anybody else should probably limit themselves to an assertion or two about yet another right-wing Christian lacking in charity on their own blogs.
In other words, lay off Instapundit, LGF and all the others out there who have sought, as have we on the "tubist" side, to give an honest accounting of their views and the ways in which they were arrived at. If you've got a better idea, write it on your site. There's a fair chance that if it's a good point made in the spirit of deeper understanding it will even get linked. In the meantime, if you've got too much venom to keep to yourself, drop by blogger. Blogspot will even host the site for free and you'll get a chance, should you be good at it, to not only surpass Instapundit, but even surpass him in the hatemail you yourself one day collect.
