If you think it is better for someone who is in a position to do something to do nothing, not only am I not the one who is not thinking, I am not the one being heartless and cruel.

There's the rub: you think Jeb is in a position to do something, he and his advisors think not. You see a judicial ruling you would overturn, with no thought beyond this immediate situation.

Elected officials are bound by law and precedent and must be aware the implications of what they do for the future.

A governor who could simply ignore Greer's ruling here sets the precendent for another governor to ignore a judge who might take the side of the Schindler's.

Flatten the law, and you've got nothing to protect you or anybody else.

Get on your knees right now and beg God for forgiveness, in hope He will not decide to bestow the same fate upon you.

Forget about trying to terrorize me with God; I know Him better than that.

In your defense of this feckless governor, you have failed to consider that perhaps he and his advisers do see a way he can act to save Terri but they do not wish to take the political heat it would generate from the irrationa democrats in Florida.

Jeb Bush has been presented with not one, but two different initiatives. He has acted on neither.

Elected officials are bound by law and precedent and must be aware the implications of what they do for the future.

Or, in this case, what they do not do. As I have said previously elsewhere, what you and your buddies fail to understand is regardless of the forum, you are in the minority. Many thousands of people do indeed care about Terri and what is happening to her.

A governor who could simply ignore Greer's ruling here sets the precendent for another governor to ignore a judge who might take the side of the Schindler's.

A governor who orders the state national guard to remove Terri by force and place her in a secret, guarded location in defiance of a corrupt, activist judge would be on the fast track to be the 44th President of The United States. (Hi, I'm Mr. Rogers. Can you say, "landslide?" I knew you could.)

Forget about trying to terrorize me with God; I know Him better than that.

I would suggest you pay heed to Galatians 6:7 :
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
