Thanks. I know some people were really hard on Jeb, but some of those that were the ahrdest on him, are also the ones that were most persistent in keeping the pressure on, as well. I think they were hard on him for what seemed like inactivity, not because they thought he wanted Terri to die. I really think all those calls, emails and faxes let the politicians know that people all over the country were watching and it let the poiticians know that there was support for them to end this forced starvation. They are supposed to take into account the wishes of 'we the people'. Enough of the 'we the people' wanting Terri to live, made their positions known.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil!
FNC just said that Governor Bush has ordered the tube be reinserted. But, they added the 'comatose' woman... grrrrr. Why can't FOX get it right. Do they not know what a coma is?
My Aunt had to go through a similar situation years ago. My Uncle had gone hunting with co-workers. He was tired and went to take a nap. He never woke up. He had gone into a coma. Turned out he had an anurism. He was COMATOSE! She kept him on life support through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, then had the doctor's go ahead and pull the plug. He was considered brain dead. He didn't DO the things Terri does. He didn't move his head. He didn't have open eyes, he didn't follow people or objects with his eyes.
Anyway, she had the plug pulled, figuring to let YHVH's will take over. She would have done so earlier, but because of the holidays and their children, (both under 10). She didn't want their future holidays to be connected with their father's death.
Mu Uncle was truly comatose, unlike Terri.
Sorry for the ramble.
