[QUOTE]Originally posted by HopefulNebula: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] "Recover" is relative- Jim Brady "recovered" after getting shot too. I mean, reports are that she was shot [i]through[/i] the head.[/qb][/QUOTE]And <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage">Phineas Gage</a> took a railroad spike through the brain, and recovered fully. He had severe personality changes, but he recovered his abilities and memories. And this predates modern surgical techniques as well. The thing with injuries like this is, there's really no telling what will happen until the swelling goes down. Last time she was awake (before they coma-tized her to give her time to recover) she was able to recognize her husband and respond to simple commands. That's a good start, at least. As for the politics of it, all I have to say is that this shit doesn't happen in a vacuum, and the people who have contributed to this culture of violence need to own up to their parts of it. (In re: Palin removing her "target" map from the Web: My seven-year-old cousin knows that when you put things on the Internet, you can never truly delete them. Why doesn't she? It would be so much classier for her to say "yeah, they went too far" than it is to pretend that either the map didn't exist or that they're surveyors' marks. Especially since she's described them as bulls-eyes in the past.) Also, can I say how sick and fucking tired I am of hearing the shooter dismissed as "just a crazy?" <em>I'm</em> crazy. That doesn't make me a murderer. [/QB][/QUOTE]
