FV- I am of the opinion that Jeb Bush did what he thought was best for the State of Florida re: the Terri case and that he is a good man. I have said before that he may not be the perfect leader, but he is by far evil or negligent- and I think he made some mistakes...But he is not to blame for what happened.. the whole system failed Terri. One person could not have changed that.

I wish Jeb would have stood up to Greer a bit more, but I don't get to make those decisions.

I realize that we can no longer hope that Terri will be saved- but this thing isn't over yet- and it appears that Jeb is trying still....I give him credit.

Jeb has not looked well since the day Terri died. I believe that Jeb regrets that he didn't rescue her but it's too late now. This has taken a heavy toll on Jeb. I do agree with you that there's plenty of blame to go around. The system that was supposed to protect Terri as a ward of the state was a failure from the get go. Terri was making progress initially and then therapy was halted. Then the funny business with Judge Mark Shames, and Judge Greer began.

I knew Shames before he was a judge. He's the first judge who turned Terri into less than human. This goes way back and it screams " a disabled woman's civil rights are being violated".

I'll say it again that Pinellas County is corrupt and sandy beaches and sunshine won't change that unless we root out the bad guys in power. Hopefully, the Pinellas GOP will someday be infiltrated by real republicans instead of RINOS serving as executives in the party here.

DBR, Terri's nurse from Palm Gardens Nursing Home lives by me. I didn't know until after Terri died and she mentioned it to me. I don't run around talking about Terri's Fight night and day because what happened to her was wrong but her life was sacred to me so I don't blather on and on about her in my daily life.

Know this: Terri's former nurse thought Jeb Bush was going to get Terri out of their alive. Terri's death saddened and deeply touched a lot of people. They have their own personal ties to Terri or her family and they're still hurting.
