No, they ruled in favor of her husband, which IMHO was the right thing to do.

That's what I was saying, the same thing, they ruled in favor of the husband. Maybe I misconstrued something here. But I'm saying they ruled pro-husband.
The ruling was pro-murder. Perhaps you both will find interesting methods to explain or deny your soul sickness- when that time, is appointed by your "providence"...
"Give it up. I and others have tried to bring some reason to this situation, and most typically you'll just be told you need to educate yourself, but occasionally you'll get both barrels."
My private apologies. I thought you were "one of them" because I misread your post above. I'm a little touchy from doing "battle" on the Schiavo supporter threads, and have many a battle scar. Yes, educate yourself is a pet phrase, along with a myriad of insults heaped upon anyone who dares to disagree with their viewpoint. Reason is not a word in their vocabulary. Glad there are a few others like yourself out there. Thanks.
Regarding the other subject we were tossing around, I guess if I allow my mind to play with nasty things I think some people deserve, I'm no different from anybody else, but I think what keeps me in check is the constant reminder that we are told be will be judged as we judge. So I try to keep verbalizing and writing about things like that in check. I'm going to have to account for an awful lot I've written on the net as it is :-(. Everything we say and do will come under scrutiny on that day is how I believe.
Years ago, when things were tamer in our society, when there was some news of some miscreant, my mother-in-law used to say, "They ought to cut off his arm and hit him over the head with it."
Maybe if I were more verbal about my anger issues (who am I going to rage to without upsetting them?) rather than keep them bottled up inside, I wouldn't have so much trouble with depression.
Sometimes things get to the point that I don't feel anger any more for long periods. Just a terrible sadness.
Believe you me, I get angry about some of the things I read here!
I lived most of my life like most healthy people I know now do. They don't think about the negative things in life, just go about enjoying themselves in what they are doing insofar as they can when life is going well for them. I never used to care or think about things in the bigger world the way I tend to now. I was mostly preoccupied only with things in my circumscribed life, home, kids, work mostly.
I admire activists who really go out on a limb and take terrible risks in so doing. I'm not like that. I never used to even think about calling my reps about anything. Now they've got my number :-).
And on what are you basing that on?
"There is something wrong with Michael Schiavo..."
Terri's alleged "Right to die" seems Michael's convenient
divorce by extermination.
Michael's self-serving hearsay testimony is not proof that Terri advocated for herself the "Right to Die."
Also, he is stating as a matter of fact that Terri cannot feel pain. How does he know, did he ask her?
