TERRI'S FIGHT (Thread 6 - November 8-10, 2003) (Link back to thread 5 - Nov. 5-7)

.

Contained in Thread 4:

Link to article on Michael Schiavo from hometown newspaper, information on death by starvation and dehydration, information on hospice eligibility and hospice and medicare/medicaid fraud, e-mail address for Judge Greer, transcript of Larry King Live interview with Michael Schiavo and George Felos, Terri's address at the hospice and the address for the foundation, to send cards for Terri's birthday (December 3), transcript of O'Reilly interview with Kate Adamson, e-mail addresses for Florida legislature, transcript of Abrams Report interview with George Felos and Pam Anderson, transcription of Terri's bone scan, legalese for dummies version of Gov. Bush's motion to dismiss Sciavo's suit against the Constitutionality of Terri's Law, link to FatherOfLiberty's research on HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy), links to ACLJ involvement in Schiavo case and Father Rob Johansen's daily update.

There are four other relevant posts that I want to highlight here in case anyone missed them or didn't get pinged. These are a general Terri thread troll alert, an especially thoughtful post about the sincere effort that FReepers are making in Terri's behalf, the Father's Love Letter , and remarks made by Jim Robinson on this issue and reposted here by lonevoice.

This thread serves as a place for posting all new general information and references, along with links following Terri's case, plus information on cable news and talk radio shows dealing with the issue, court cases and press releases. This is also the place to post contact information, prayers and general discussion.

If you have something that qualifies as BREAKING NEWS or FRONT PAGE NEWS, please post it on a separate thread in that category in order to give it maximum exposure and then post a link to the article/thread here so that it will be included in the next update of links. Also, if you post links to articles from original sources and there is also a thread on FR, please link to the FR thread. Many original links become corrupt over time and we want to be able to access the information at will.

There was a tremendous amount of information posted on the previous thread. For anyone who hasn't been following the daily threads, links to relevant posts and information from the previous thread are contained in the body of the present one. I have found that very helpful in trying to find something later. You people are doing a spectacular job of getting information out and also in helping to keep all of us updated here. What a great joint effort. This fight, to me, illustrates beautifully what Free Republic is about and what it means to be a FReeper. Way to go FRiends. Keep up the good work!

Yes, those stinkin' vikings, you know.
So should I call you Nicky the Nose?
Nicky No Pants?

[nicmarlo]

thanks, wisconsin, for that info. Mo1, there's still probably other stuff in PA as far as MS's mother who he let die....apparently there's at least an obit. I couldn't find out any more info. on her either, like her first name, or get to see the actual obit. And I'm also thinking she died in Bucks Co.

[nicmarlo]

Nope; I'm NOT Italian! : )

[sweetliberty]

"Felos would not comment on Capone's statement that, since Terri Schiavo's illness, Michael Schiavo has fathered two children with another woman." Dated May 10, 2001.....over a year before Jodi's first child was born.

[sfRummygirl]

Oh, so you MARRIED a bandit....;-)

[pickyourpoison]

No, I think she died in Fl. and her name was Clara

[sweetliberty]

Nic, see Mo's #473.

Thanks, Mo. See you in a bit.

[sfRummygirl]

I'm sorry....I'll get back on track here!

[nicmarlo]

I tried that link, sweetliberty, but I can't figure out how it searches.....it's kind of weird.

[nicmarlo]

Yes, but we divorced 10 years ago; his father came to America from Sicily at the age of 16.

[Coral Snake]

Not necessarily true. I was a troll against Linux in a somewhat shakey allience with three others (whose screen names I will not mention because of a previous AM warning about personal attacks) during my first month here. (I also had a tendency to use graphics like that Willian T. Sherman pic when I was anti Linux Trolling only then it was Karl Marx. If you want to know more about this part of my carreer as a FReeper, HiTech RedNeck would probably be the one on the Terri threads most knowledgable about it besides myself.)
However after starting to use Linux and getting the facts about Linux, the GPL and SCO from both FR Linux apologists and Open Source sites on the Internet, (Particularly NewsForge, still not to crazy about Slashdot) I broke that allience and became a reformed troll. SO TROLL REFORM CAN HAPPEN.

[nicmarlo]

thanks for that info., poison.

[sfRummygirl]

Oh, I'm sorry. :-(
Divorce sucks.

[sfRummygirl]

This is all getting complicated!

[nicmarlo]

Yes, but in this case, it would have been worse to stay married. He became, uh, not very nice after we married. Didn't want the kids to grow up and think those kinds of things are okay or normal. They are finally understanding now that they are 15 and 18.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Thanks for that link, Pegita. I don't think that I had seen that particular article before. I found this to be interesting:

"If you need to be able to respond to a tiger jumping out of the bushes, you just want your eyes to pick up the movement," Gebel said. "That's all someone in a vegetative state is doing - following the light or responding to the sound."

Doesn't this sound an awful lot like the opposite of:

(12) "Persistent vegetative state" means a permanent and irreversible condition of unconsciousness in which there is:

(a) The absence of voluntary action or cognitive behavior of any kind.

(b) An inability to communicate or interact purposefully with the environment.

If it is a cognitive behavior to follow light or respond to sound, even if it is a reflex, doesn't that just show exactly that it IS a cognitive behavior of SOME kind?!! I'm so tired of the way Felos has parsed the words that we all clearly understand what they mean. Or am I just speaking a different language?

[nicmarlo]

nope, you make sense to me. Very good sense.

[Aliska]

#484. Noted. Hmmmmm.

[sfRummygirl]

It would be hard to find....shrinks can move alot. (Well, yes, we all can...duh, rummygirl)
we are talking about 13 years ago, right? Was he in the counseling before her collapse?

[sfRummygirl]

That wap anger thing can suck. Especially with the guys. I actually don't even like Italian guys, and married a mutt of another background myself.
