Where have you been?
They did too stick their necks out for her
I understand your frustration over this
What is happening to Terri is Wrong .. Plain Wrong
But place it where it belongs .. at Felos
Believe me, I've looked into what the Bush family is still able to do. I was holding back my punches.

I agree...partially. Felos is just an instrument. He and the judges may very well have been stopped by an outpouring of public sympathy for Terri's plight. When a large majority of Americans chose moral relativism over individual rights, that let the judiciary wash their hands of the matter.
Most Americans have not followed this case like many of us have (for years). They first saw Terri about 3 weeks ago...and it made them uncomfortable. They don't WANT to look at her. They just want it to go away. They say THEY wouldn't want to live like that and impute their opinions to Terri. They say "the husband should decide", imputing to Michael Schiavo the same caring devotion they assume their own spouse would display. They don't want to be bothered with "the details".
By doing all of the above, it was the PEOPLE--not just Felos and the judges--who decided Terri's fate.
"I understand your frustration over this."
Thank you.
"What is happening to Terri is Wrong .. Plain Wrong"
Right. I hadn't heard that enough times yet, which is strange. How many more times do I want to hear it? This outrage will last me a lifetime.
"But place it where it belongs .. at Felos"
Most of my anger is toward Felos, Michael, Greer, and the left in general-- so is everyone's. But so long as she's alive, we need to hear more from posters like you, who are seeking common ground. The kneejerk bushbots, with their tassled pom-poms and thoughtless exhortations are only throwing gasoline on the fire.
I didn't really want this to be so much about 'bush good vs. bush bad'. That's why I came down as 'bush kinda good'. But 'kinda good' means I supposedly wrote 'bush bad'.
I was trying to move past that silliness and discuss the danger of using Terri as a Wellstone prop before she's even dead.
Thank you for your thoughtful post.
