Schiavo Case and Culture War
Look how quickly the case of Terri Schiavo has been transformed into a battle in the culture war dividing the US. That transformation is a result of the combined efforts of the media, politicians, clergy, lawyers, judges, and the "talking heads" who preside over television network fare.
In all this racket, the best interests of Terri Schiavo are being ignored.
