From the "When you think you have seen it all" file, comes this from the AP:
TAMPA, Fla. - Terri Schiavo's husband buried her cremated remains Monday, inscribing on her bronze grave marker "I kept my promise."
What promise was that? Did he promise his new live in honey that he would have his wife legally killed and keep all the money? Did he promise to have her killed by dehydration? Did he keep his promise to love and honor her in sickness and in health 'til death (not legally administered through barbaric dehydration) do us part?
Doesn't the inscription on the grave marker usually say something in honor of the deceased?
I'm sorry, I think this is a new low. What did her family ever do to him to warrant this type of treatment? Just twist the knife a little more, there Michael.

Can it be that such people are truly sane? I wonder. How does one raise the Temple of the Ego to such heights as to presume death as an act of mercy? Is the modern mind so warped? Are we so bloated on prosperity or intoxicated with celebrity that we accept nothing except on our own terms?
What of proportion and propriety? Mercy and justice? What happened to perspective and the wisdom of the ages?
Why should anyone listen to a culture that has forgotten what culture is really about?
He kept his promise; the creedo of all true megalomaniacs. Hitler answered the call of race and destiny. Lenin and Stalin the dialectic of class warfare. Mao the call of peasant revolution. And the blood ran in the streets and the stones cried out for justice.
Fortunately, there is one promise to which we may all look for sanity, sanctity and salvation. The promise made at Calvary. Every day we come a day closer to it's fulfillment.
We must fight to redeem the times.
