Poll question: After Terri's passing, what will happen?
Terri's father said that she has a few hours. After the inevitable, what will protestors from both sides do?

2. I'm betting she dies over Easter weekend
There will be some fights and yelling and screaming, until someone reminds the crowd that fighting and yelling and screaming on Easter isn't really something that Christ would do.

(Apologies to the Firesign Theatre for the paraphrase)

5. Everyone will say "she is with God now"
and turn their attention to making sure Scott Peterson is executed as quickly as possible.

6. None of the above...
My guess:

Lots, and lots of wailing, gnashing of teeth, breast-beating, people falling on knees and praying......

then they'll go home......

but the political fallout will be just beginning.....

8. The Holy war will begin. More defined lines will be drawn.
Acts of violence, assasinations....I feel this is the straw that broke the camel's back.

12. I voted for full riots.
Don't think it will necessarily be between the opposing groups presently outside the hospice, but I do think the fallout will be lengthy and far-reaching. Once her body has finally died, those who fought so hard to keep her alive won't just go home and have a good cry; they will refocus their energy, now amplified by grief and even more anger, upon anyone and anything that they determine to have played a part in Mrs. Schiavo's "murder." It might not explode overnight, but it could get very ugly over time.

:scared:

13. I'm dispirited
by the ghoulish, almost lick smacking posts that proliferate around here over a deeply human tragedy.

Attack the politics, the grandstanders, etc. but at some point these threads become exemplars of the very problem (on both sides) -- the politics constantly outweighs the humanity. We cast ourselves as champions of rationality and light and then have to vote on this sort of crap?

16. Estimating the behavior of protestors is not ghoulish.
I see your point, but I am inclined to disagree. If I was being ghoulish I would use some horrible words to describe Schiavo, her husband and her family. I am not getting near them with a stick, they have their own horrible problems. I would like to poll about the protestors only. I think it is good to know, and poll, how these protestors will react.

20. Make some angry speeches, thump their chests and quietly leave
But that won't be the end.

In the long run, we haven't heard the last of this. The theocrats are going to make as much out of this as they can. For the Republicans, demagoguing issues like this is still the best way for them to hold on to the votes of poor rural whites while they are sodomizing them with banckruptcy deform, SS deform, health care deform and support for low-wages and union busting.

When poor rural whites realize that they love their own falmilies more than they hate gays they will start voting for Democrats.

32. Move onto the next thing
I'm betting on something to do with an attracctive young white girl in some sort of unfortunate situation.

Or maybe some big revelation will come out of the Michael Jackson trial.

Or maybe some revelation about the Lindberg Baby.
