Blockbuster article by Diane Alden about Terri Schiavo AND the big picture. Long, but a must read.
To: nickcarraway
I emailed both Gov Bush and the AG. I called Gov Bush's office, called Sen Bill Frist's and Rep Ron Paul as both are doctors. I know many don't think highly of Frist, but it was worth the try. Maybe if enough of us called both Frist and Rep Ron Paul's offices it would help. It certainly can't hurt. Email at this point in time is a useless tool. Rep Ron Paul 202-225-2831, Sen Bill Frist 202-224-3344:
I kept repeating to their people we don't treat rapid mad dogs or convicted killers in so INHUMANE a way.

Death for those who are not terminal happens every day. It is simply called something else: futile care, death with dignity, partial-birth abortion, rule of law, "choice," or elder abuse.
Well said, Diane Alden.
We are rightly cautioned not to invoke Nazi Germany too often, lest the analogy become trivialized through over-use.
But what is being done to Terri Schindler-Schivo --legally!-- is nothing less than Nazi-like.
And nowhere are the words of Thomas Jefferson more appropriate: 'I tremble for my nation when I reflect that God is just: that His justice can not sleep forever.'
I am still praying for Terri and her family. God's will be done and if Terri is legally executed, we will not forget.

Pope John Paul II beatifies Mother Teresa this week. Perhaps her prayerful intervention can help Terri and the REST of us. What we need is a divine rage to make the changes necessary to save us from the continued descent into hell. As Governor of the State of Florida, Jeb Bush has the right to commute the sentence of an inmate on death row but, according to Greer, he should stay out of the Schiavo case! This makes no sense whatsoever.
