Someone let Sunny Kirsten out for a walk, and she managed to get to a
keyboard again: :-)

 Sunny, you're a loon.

 I think Sunny went through some awful trauma as a child, and she needs to
 substitute fantasy for reality so she can avoid thinking too hard.

>Likewise, pulling the plug on a medically sustained body whose spirit
>has already departed is not murder.

 I'm pro-choice and in favor of (self-)euthanasia, and it bothers me to
 see other people support my views with gibberish. Come on Sunny, you *must*
 have a brain; USE IT!
