Dead -- And Back Again
By Rus Cooper-Dowda
READ Social Security Disability Programs - a history
Not so long ago, the Social Security Administration called my spouse to inform him that, due to my death, my monthly benefit check would be stopped. Since I was the one who actually answered the phone, this news came as a great surprise to me.

CNSNews.com) - A Pinellas County, Fla., teacher -- who is disabled and works with disabled students- - claims she is being fired because she voiced her support for another disabled Florida woman: Terri Schindler Schiavo.
Rus Cooper-Dowda told CNSNews.com Wednesday morning that the Pinellas County School Board voted six-to-one to fire her Tuesday night, citing "job perforrmance" as the reason. The veteran teacher claims she was terminated in retaliation for sharing her opinion about the Schiavo case in response to a reporter's question.
THANKYOU!

Holy mackerel. You'd think this would be big, human interest news, but I never heard of this case before. One more sign that our media are sick unto death.
Mistakes happen.
Doctors are sometimes wrong.
Juries are sometimes wrong.
Public Opinion is sometimes wrong.
That doesn't mean we should act like Democrats, throw out the system and have hysterics unless we can prove we have a better system to offer.

The problem is that citing the reason for NOT removing Terri Schiavo's feeding tube is that her husband has attempted to murder her is a total non sequitur. The two statements are unrelated. If you believe her feeding tube should not be removed, that's your belief. Whether her husband participated in her resultant condition, the vegetative state, needing a feeding tube, has nothing to do with whether or not her feeding tube should be removed.
There are many other non sequiturs in this case, many of which concern me.

Thank you for posting this amazing, and chilling, story.
But. And this is a big one, Terri's situation is different.
She needs to be treated. She needs as much physical therapy as possible. She needs a chance. A chance she hasn't been given. That's a difference.
I'm going to have my living will amended. If I'm in a coma because of what might be foul play, I want to be treated aggressively for up to a year before the plug is pulled. I want a chance too.
If it's old age and a painful disease, no extraordinary measures, please. But that's not this circumstance. And everyone senses it.
There are too many unanswered questions here. Why didn't the husband get help for her when help would have mattered? Wouldn't most grieving husbands want to try something? He didn't give up after trying. He didn't try. If Terri really felt like he said, why didn't she sign a living will? Does the state default to no treatment, no help, and starvation death in cases of potential foul play?
Something stinks in this case, and we all feel it. The stench reaches to our souls. This doesn't feel like respect for a woman's wish to die peacefully, it feels like murder.
This is an AMAZING STORY. Thanks for posting it.
I looked up this writer on google, and from what I read, sounds like she did divorce that creep doctor husband, and the son she gave birth to wasn't his. Good for her.
However Terri got to her near demise in 1990, I am unsure of. That Michael wants her dead is apparent and evil, especially since this is a wanted child. Her parents want her!!!! How evil can a judge be? This is heartbreaking.
Thanks, Terriergal, for a great story from someone who's been there and made it through, praise God.
