Phat,

You might be right. I hadn't heard that. But, is it possible that the Bushs think themselves as lightening rods for negative media coverage and therefore negative public opinion, and so maybe they though it best for Terri to stay away.

Politically, Plat, I have you on my side. I also have on my side the rest of my detractors in this thread- i.e. you guys want Terri saved. Therefore, since I have you, the politically smart thing to do, is to go out and get the people I don't have- And how to I do that- By getting their leaders, Jackson, Lieberman, Harkin, Nader. et.al to show up at the hospice, not me.

God Bless

If I were still in FL, I'd go there in a second. Right now I am just keeping Terri and her family intensely in my prayers. I sent Jeb Bush an impassioned e-mail, but to no avail.

Well, that is certainly the pragmatic political decision, and if the Bush family is anything, it is pragmatic. I'm not sure pragmatism is always the right thing. If what we read is right, neither of them is running for office again. Isn't now the time to stand for principle?

I suspect that it is too late, and it would be just an empty symbol right now, but it would have been interesting, to say the least.
