Schaivo and Jackson

So much has been said on this subject already, I don't feel I have much to add, so I haven't. I guess I can point out I was on the side of letting her live.

Perhaps more notably, it's seldom I find myself on the same side of an issue as Jesse Jackson. I really don't have much respect for the man. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to have full-time civil rights activists (or in his case, with Al Sharpton, agitators) when the core issues of the civil rights movement have already been settled and won. But Jackson stepped up to the plate in what is arguably a real civil rights issue, and while unsuccessful, he was stood for what I feel was good and right. Kudos to him.
