Bump!

I keep hoping Mr. Schiavo will discern that Mr. Felos listens to weird goings-on in his head and realize the horror of what he is doing.

BUMP!!!

If Terri's Law is struck down by the George W. Greer "court" tomorrow, will Demers still be bound to find a "guardian at litem"? Can't he say "now that the law is unconstitutional, there is no business before my court"?

And this Dr. Wolfson seems predetermined to be pro-Michael R. Schiavo.

Bulletin: Eleanor Clift calls for Terri's death!!!

Popular "Newsweek" columnist and panelist on PBS's "McLaughlin Group" this weekend called for immediate death for the stricken disabled FL woman Terri Schindler Schiavo. The fact that Clift, who started with "Newsweek" 40 years ago as a fact checker, endorses the "right-to-die" is no surprise. What was surprising was her vehemence that Terri be immediatley starved and deydrated again. Clift considers her a distasteful "vegetable."

John McLaughin, a former Catholic priest and former husband of Reagan's Labor Secretary Ann McLaughlin, should have fired her on the set for a lack of the "compassion" that she has long claimed to represent. It could have been like that time many years ago (I read about it, didn't see it) when Arthur Godfrey fired Julius LaRosa on the air.

Panelist Pat Buchanan opposed death for Terri, but the segment ended before he could elaborate on his coments.

I am sending this to other Terri threads to get maximum exposure.

Here is a link to the court document and sworn affadavit of Carla Sauer Iyer, R.N., who was just one of Terri's nurses who spoke out against her treatment (or lack thereof). Check out page 5 of this 8-page affadavit.

Other nurse accounts of Michael's bizarre behavior can be found here and here.

WOndering if you all would please write to Larry King and request that he give the Schindler family equal time to the hour he is giving Michael Schiavo...

His email is:

Larry.King.Live3@turner.com

So many thanks to each of you who does this for Terri and her family. Ya never know what might happen, but you always know if ya do nothing....

Also-PLEASE go to the CNN poll about terri-running on Larry King prep thread-and go to the link and VOTE....those who want terri left to die without food and water are winning...read the poll carefully before taking it...THANKS! This poll will be broadcast and we need to move on it.

Didn't King David pray for disaster for his enemies?

Michael Schiavo wants “that bitch to die” because of the financial payoff.

Sorry . . . no financial payoff was at issue when Mikey executed a fit of Criminal Strangulation upon Terri . . . hence causing her body to fail to deliver oxygen to her brain!!! But thereafter, over $1 million became available, primarily for her care and therapy. Only then did money become the secondary moving factor for Mikey!!!

Now Terri's death has a twofold meaning for the "loving husband". . . 1st to eliminate the only witness to his Criminal Strangulation and 2nd to steal all the money that was awarded for Terri's care and therapy !!!

But now the problem is to protect Terri from further attempts by Mikey to kill her. She needs to be whisked away to another location . . . away from the Hospice of Hell where she is now held hostage by her attempted murderer(s) !!!

BUMP

After winning a malpractice suit that would fund care for Terri, Michael banked the money and cut off all rehabilitative therapies.

Absolutelt breaks my heart when I hear that bastard refer to Terri as a bitch!

[StACase]

Thank you very much for the links, I greatly appreciate it. However, I find them literally unbelievable. What is being said is one man as guardian has managed to gain power over doctors and staff at a nursing facility in order to make sure his charge is not given the full measure of service in hopes that she will die. It just doesn't hold water.

A full impartial investigation is necessary. The Florida Governor needs to order it done. He needs a report on that investigation delivered to him with a deadline, and the chips fall where they may.

The current state of affairs is outrageous!

Everyone on this thread needs to read those pdf files you linked to.

[syriacus]

I have been having very evil thoughts. I keep picturing Michael getting hit by a bus/struck by lightning or some other freak accidental death prior to Terri dying. I know, I know, it's terrible to think that but.........

I like to picture positive things happening to people who do "unnice" things.

For example, I might like to picture them winning an all-expenses-paid trip around the world for five years.

They're happy to go. I'm happy they're gone. Their victims are happy they are gone.

It might help you to assign credibility if you knew that Greer and Felos are/were business associates (mobile home insurance ventures and Mobile home parks in central Fla) and both are/were on the Hospice board and serve in the Hospice association of the Florida SunCoast (or some such name as that, I can't keep it all perfect in memory). Also, the court appointed physician who weighed in with his medical appraisal of Terri after a twenty minute visit with her is connected to Felos through the euthanasia movement ... I'm betting Felos gave the name of the physician to Greer. Additionally, Greer has secretly authorized MS to plunder Terri's rehabilitation trust fund in order to pay Greer's business associate, Felos! One last tidbit: Terri was moved to the Hospice where Felos was the board chairman (if memory serves), then Felos supposedly resigned as chairman; Hospice is for terminally ill patients, as per their by-laws, and Terri is only terminal if Michael and Felos are allowed by Greer and other mutated courts in Florida to execute her. [There is much still be run down regarding front company set ups which may have allowed Michael Schiavo to hide assets in order to have Terri qualify for federal Medicare/Medicaid funds to pay for her Hospice residency. We'll know more soon.]

[MHGinTN]

I wonder, if Michael Schiavo won the lottery, would he continue to seek Terri's execution through the putrifacting court of Greer?

[StACase]

Thank you for the thoughtful post. A truly independent investigation as I said is required. The sooner the better.

I'm still trying to figure out if Tolstoy ever converted. I have a book he wrote about his thoughts and feelings toward the church, but it never states clearly what he ended up deciding.

Haven't read any Chekov but I know he did the cherry tree thing because of some exposure to it through adoption agencies.

I do, however, very much like Gogol and highly recommend him if you are seeking more reading along these lines.
