(1,150 posts)Have you ever had to decide to terminate life support on a son in a coma with severe brain damage and no conceivable possibility of recovery?
I haven't, but I have a brother, who happens to be a doctor, who has.
It wasn't giving up and it wasn't quitting, but he spent years struggling with the guilt, even though there's no doubt - none whatsoever - that it was the right thing to do.
I know several local Democrats seeking office in my rather conservative little Minnesota town. I've donated to their campaigns, have their campaign signs on my lawn, and have spoken to all my neighbors about them.
I'm not much for cold calling or door knocking, I admit that. But, then, I work around 65 hours a week, and even though I don't make a ton of money, donating is the most realistic way to help the candidates I support.
Speak about things you know, and if you're going to insult someone, be sure you know what the fuck you're talking about. You don't know me and I don't know you. That means you have no idea what I may or may not be doing to help 'better democrats' running and elected.
It's easy to insult people anonymously on the Internet, that is if you are so inclined. If you'd said it to my face, I'd have laid you out cold. Because, frankly, you'd deserve it.
