I am not “we” (and you probably aren’t either . . .)

Terri Schiavo died this morning.
While I don’t think that removal of the feeding tube was right (and have said so repeatedly), I think it should be remembered that it was Michael Schiavo who wanted the tube pulled, and the courts which ordered this carried out.
It wasn’t the ill-defined “Culture of Death.” (Often referred to as “we.”)
We didn’t do it. And therefore, I didn’t do it — any more than I shot the Columbine victims.*
*Or, for that matter, clubbed the seals.
AFTERTHOUGHT: In the course of the debate over the morality of feeding tube removal, what seems to be getting lost is this: had Michael Schiavo and the Schindlers agreed on the feeding tube removal, Ms. Schiavo would have starved to death years ago and no one would have heard of this case. (It happens every day.) To me, the dispute between the parties is the distinction. But I fear that for many, this distinction is being forgotten, and while I know I’m repeating myself a bit, I’d hate to see a kneejerk overreaction lead to the imposition of a feeding tube requirement even when people don’t want such things.
