For the record, if I'm ever in a persistent vegetative state, I want you all to randomly split up and make a huge fucking fuss over me, file tons of lawsuits, and make the government pay more attention to me than to things like the House leader's list of ethical violations, the ongoing clusterfuck in Iraq, the upcoming clusterfucks in China/Taiwan, Korea, Syria/Lebanon, and Iran, the continued failure of the "No Child Left Behind" act, the economy that penalizes personal debt but rewards a growing national one, and the continued attempts to rape what's left of our wilderness. Because, shit, if I go, why not take the rest of the world with me?

Sure hope Terri Schiavo was/is a nihilist.
