A murderer is entitled to a jury trial before any death sentence -- Terri's case was heard by no jury. You are allowed to lie to murderers and theives at their work. It is encouraged -- not that one should work with them, but is it so happens there is a duty to confound their criminal action whenever possible.
And I haven't seen Hotel Rwanda, although my college aged son, who is very thoughtful and insightful (mother's pride here,) saw it and thought it was masterful. I will see it on DVD when both of my children come home.
And I'll just make one mor comment on your post, regarding Felos, and that being that I think that something smells in the state of South Sand Land.
Again, my apologies. And as you can tell--I'm a vicious mother bear when it comes to my cubs and any situation of which they were to be falsely railroaded. THAT'S where I come from. ;-)
A sailor knows when to strike her sheets. If you don't a mighty wind may turn your keel.
typo: "but IF it so happens"
Well, I made a mistake. It is the Tutsis and Hutus. Not Tutus and Hutus. The names sound silly to our ears -- but what sad horror they meant a few years ago!
Today on a local Seattle radio station I heard a woman say michael will not allow an autopsy and will have Terri's body cremated and buried out of town. He will get away with the perfect wifeicide.
And yes, indeed. :-(
Sure. Clinton did it and got by with it.
How sad for you. My husband respects our wedding vows...you know "in sickness" as well as in health. By the same token I couldn't kill my husband just because he got sick and became inconvenient to me. I wish you luck with your marriage.
Terri isn't just sick. She basically died 15 years ago, except for having a feeding tube which keeps her "alive". Do you even know what PVS is? Google it (spell it out) and then ask your husband if he would wish to be kept alive by a life saving tube.
I've never met anyone who would.
Peach, Terri is NOT on artificial life support, and she did not basically die 15 years ago. She is NOT brain dead.
The State of Florida considers feeding tubes to be life support equipment, Miss Behave.
Is it life support in and of itself, or a part of a life support system?
Being on Life Support involves more criteria to qualify as "on life support", no?
All I know is that the State of Florida considers a feeding tube part of life support equipment. As do other states.
And it makes sense. If one cannot swallow like Terri, then one would die without a tube. Hence the part of life support.
Terri has been unable to swallow since she left the hospital and had three yearly swallow tests which she failed.
I think the cremation story has been debunked.
Peach, I'm not going to debate that. I don't know what else to say to you. I personally know better in the real world. I have to leave the keyboard at this point. And that's that.
I agree.
But "part of life support" is different than "life support" (all requirements met) in and of itself.
Well, part of life support are my words. A feeding tube is considered life support. By the Florida legislature and others.
Without it, patients would die. Now I know the same can be said for other things, like pacemakers, so I'm not sure what qualifies for the term life support.
thanks for that information.
