I don't usually post political rants, but am astonished at the lack of common decency displayed by the Italian government and politicians in general with regards to the Englaro case.
This poor girl had been practically a vegetable for the past 17 years of her life (roughly half of it), with no chances of reversibility. Would *anyone* want to be kept hanging on like that? And her father, poor man. There's just no words.
But regardless of what I or others might want in the same circumstances, the *law* had clearly stated that the father had the right to request the interruption of nourishment, and since she'd told her family she wouldn't want to be artificially kept alive in a case like this (when she still could), how dare the dwarf play the pseudo-religious card to stop it from happening? And threaten local clinics to withdraw public funding if they complied with the law??? Go ahead and kick the man in the teeth when he's down, why don't you.
I don't know if you realise, but this is truly scary. We have this sorry excuse for a man here, who thinks he's god's own son, using an extremely sad human case to further his not-so-secret agenda to scrap the Constitution as it's a lot of old twaddle (ok, he didn't say it so bluntly but that's what he implied). So, let's see... first gag the magistrature; then get your friends in Parliament to make a few laws in your favour, while you're being tried for fraud and who knows what else, so the trials will be a waste of time; then rush through a decree (despite the President's refusal to sign it because it's unconstitutional - sorry, I forgot, that's old twaddle) in order to gain the Church's good will... you know, you brush my back I brush yours, sort of thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time that happened in our geographical area, didn't we have those two other chosen guys, Sig Benito and Herr Adolf?
Terrifying.
