I had to reflect on the new idea that scarecrows in need of brains were now allowed to go to law school.

Nice find. Thanks.

The Right-To-Die attorney

A bit of a misnomer there

According to Terris parents and a video when told that the judge ordered her killed

She sat up in bed...

To my way of thinking this means that TERRI DOES NOT WANT TO DIE

Therefore the attorney is NOT a right to die attorney but

A right to KILL attorney...and the judge (and for that matter the state) are pro murder....

Once they define what "life" means...it is starting to sound like what "is" is...

They had a good teacher in Bubba and his lovely witch...and their henchwoman..

Janet "The Incinerator' Reno imo

Then the judge drew us all back into "Oz" by asking, "Does Terri have a brain?"

Dang, if the Judge had to ask if Terri had a brain, then guess who is in a "vegatative state"!

If I were a disabled person that had to count on someone else to assist me in my daily life, I would be very afraid right now. Actually, I am very afraid of what's behind the door, this murder in slow motion, has opened.

"Ms. Anderson gently pointed out that medicine and life didn't work that way. She asked what harm there would be in a trial period of full therapies before deciding such therapies wouldn't work. "

This is what Bill Bennett said, too, on H & C Tues night. "What harm will there be..."

I'm praying for Terri & her family. I've not had much to eat since yesterday am. It's not feeling so hot right now -- and unlike Terri, I have had fluids (incl. that all imp. cup of coffee and juice this am).

Considering how I'm feeling, I did just report this abuse/neglect to FL abuse hotline # (800) 962 - 2873 -- for that is what this is.

It's getting better -- I got through after a few tries.

Thanks, Julie; it was time to call it again. See post 15, last resort. I dropped Gov. Bush's name, said he's concerned about it, too. Continued prayers for Terri, her family - her MOM! - and all of us.

Like it or not this is what I am thinking today. I originally posted the following on this thread.

****************************************************

To further bring into focus just what the authorities, from the judges on down, are ignoring in order to end Terri Schiavo's life I'll put them into a bulleted list.

Micheal Schiavo's vested interest in Terri's death:

1. Avoidance of a near certain criminal investigation and possible prosecution arising from questions concerning the multiple fractures she seems to have acquired just prior to becoming mute and immobile.

2. Sole acquistion of funds secured for the rehabilitation and maintanence of Terri's life and health which can only be accomplished if he remains married to Terri.

3. Legal sanctification of his sexual relationship with another woman.

4. Emotional security of legally securing his relationship with that other woman by means of marriage.

Micheal Schiavo's actions:

1. Removal of Terri from a rehabilitative hospital setting to the purely maintanence oriented setting of a hospice facility.

2. Using his authority as her legal guardian to prohibit all efforts to rehabilitate her.

3. Using his authority as her legal guardian to limit or prohibit visitation by her family.

4. Calling his wife a "bitch" in the context of wondering why it was taking so long for her to die.

5. Use of the funds meant for Terri's care for his own needs.

Algore is still wishing his case for vote recounts had had half as much merit as these points make for terminating Micheal Schiavo's status as legal guardian much less considering his petitions to let her starve.

The weight of circumstantial evidence here is far more damning than the evidence used to execute Timothy McVeigh or prosecute Charles Manson and leads the rational mind to only one conclusion, (albeit a yet to be proved suspicion) it appears to be far more likely than not that Micheal Schiavo attempted to murder his wife causing substantial injuries that resulted in her current condition of mute immobility and he is now soliciting the help of the courts of the State of Florida to finish the job.

Regretfully (shamefully, despicably, dishonorably, criminally, immorally, horrifically, adjectiva nausea ad nauseam ...,) the Courts of Florida are willingly assisting him and no earthly authority in Florida or Washington has been able to find the legal right, the statute or the testes to oppose him.

The Corporate Media (as always in these times) has abdicated its responsibility to fully inform The People of this nation about this situation. A situation which has generated strong reactions from people wherever the story has managed to surface through means of less heralded forms of communication.

The will of The People is being played out in this case through the actions of unelected authorities, unwillful and illwillful representatives and by a misinforming media which is ignorantly percieved by too many to be performing some honest and reliable service to our country.

There is little left for the ordinary man/citizen to do but watch and unflinchingly witness what is happening. Watch it, acknowledge it and remember it. However painful the truth is it is always better than the lie. Never deny it, never excuse it, never forget it. Micheal may succeed in murdering Terri but the truth won't die if you give it a place to live.

Victory lies in truth and truth is a flame that needs shelter from the winds of fear and anger. Take the flame into your heart and mind and the lie with it. The flame of truth needs to be exposed to the lie to feed itself by burning it to pure ashes. You can't eliminate evil from the world but don't turn away or close your eyes to it because it is ugly. It will only use that as an opportunity to gain ground on you.

Good luck, Micheal Schiavo. You're gonna need it.
