Bill Greene

It's come to my attention that I have a connection to the sad story of Terri Schiavo. A friend of mine in junior high, Bill Greene, grew up to be a conservative fundraiser and political activist. He was responsible for raising the money for the recent right-wing loon-fest in the Schiavo case. Probably we'll be hearing a lot more from him in the future; it wouldn't surprise me if he winds up the next Karl Rove.

The funny thing is that even in 8th and 9th grade the two of us debated politics, with Bill taking the conservative side and me the liberal. At the time it was very friendly -- we were just having fun. Somewhere I have a yearbook with a note from him about how we'd grow up and have great debates some day. But even at that young age, our political leanings seem to have been formed.

The last time I saw Bill personally, I think I was a freshman in college and he was a high-school senior. (We were in the same class, but I skipped out of high school a year early). He was taking my little sister out on a date, if I remember correctly.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Bill. Did you read the autopsy report, or do people like you even care about the facts?
