NAG blog mentioned by Phoenix writer Dan Kennedy!

Posted by John B. Kelly

I wrote Boston Phoenix "Media Log" blogger Dan Kennedy a friendly note about this site, and he was interested enough to check it out and then give it a mention:

DISABILITY AND LIFE. John B. Kelly has some thoughts on the Terri Schiavo case from a disability-rights perspective. It's smart and worth reading, though he seems to be stuck where I was a few days ago, not realizing that people who claim to have interacted with Schiavo are almost certainly lying to advance their own agendas.

The courts have ruled that she made her wishes known years ago, and those wishes are finally being carried out. The US Supreme Court has now refused to intervene. Next: Judge George Greer has to fend off Florida governor Jeb Bush.

I am very grateful to Mr. Kennedy for mentioning me at all. (Awe Shucks). But I don't follow him when he says that I'm stuck believing lies from Terri's camp. I'm not paying attention to the public posturing at all. That's just the media circus. I'm paying attention to whether an innocent human being, a disabled woman who cannot speak for herself, gets killed in full view of the entire society.
