My only Schiavo post (I hope)

I've made a few comments at a few blogs, but not commented directly here, so I don't have much to say, but this I had to respond to:

Over at Salon:

"By allowing our law to starve a woman to death, a great revenge is going to be brought upon this nation," a man who gave his name as Duke Righteous said. Righteous, a big, charismatic fellow who clutched a Bible and referred to it frequently during an interview, had driven here from Missouri four days ago. He hoped, but was never quite certain, that he and the others could have saved Schiavo. Like many others, he now wondered whether Schiavo's death, despite the activists' best efforts, would serve some larger purpose. "Did God not answer our prayers for a reason?" he asked.

God did answer your prayer, "Duke Righteous".

It was "no".

Now you figure the rest out.
