I think Michael Schiavo is way beyond bully at this point.
Question: Was Ms Schiavo an insulin dependent diabetic at the time of her hypoxic episode in 1990?
But what if it was court-ordered bullying?
And what if 68% to 88% of Americans polled supported the bullying?
It would be wrong to ignore the court and stop the bullying, right?
Because we're a nation of laws and courts, right?
Good thing that a lot of FReepers weren't around when slavery and segregation were being fought. A fair number would approve of your bullying were it ordered by a prick in a black robe.
The lesson in all this is not to trust your fate to the legal system, medical system, political system -- and certainly not the media, if one wants a rational outcome. It means a need for greater self-sufficiency and self-reliance, which begins of course, by making better discriminations and decisions.
Generally, it is not a good idea to marry the first and only person one ever dates. And then when the marriage goes bad, it's not a waste of the years put into it, to get out of it, at whatever cost, or it could cost you your life. There are no guarantees of a happy outcome -- no matter what the demagogues promise. We all take our best shot and make the best from what we know.
Let her will to live, inspire us to make the most of our own lives.
This is a great analogy and the court system is designed by bullies for bullies. The sly-est one wins. The only thing I can say is to hope and pray you never have to enter the court system because it is a black hole. There may be good judges but they are becoming the exception.
