Dear Freepers:
This is my first post here, and it may very well be my only one, but I wanted to just thank you all for being such a great resource for information on the Terri Schiavo case.
I usually come here when my blood pressure is just too low, because Id have to say I usually (okay, almost always) disagree with the views expressed here. (dons flame suit) But I admire you folks as a community of individuals who care about each other and about your country. While I disagree with most of the policies espoused here, you still are patriotic Americans and it shines through. There is clearly an intelligence to the discussion level here and I learn many facts.
Through lurking here on FR (and, lets be honest, that IS what Im doing :-) ), Ive gotten to learn so much about the Terri Schiavo case. As a third-year law student and one who has recently had the opportunity to watch the justice system at its absolute worst in a case involving a dear friend of mine, I am gravely concerned by the way Judge Greer has acted, and the ignoring of the misdeeds of Michael Schiavo. (Not to mention the darned videos of Terri, which so clearly show her to be responsive. Or the refusal of Michael S. or Greer to allow her to go through therapy. Or Michaels 1992 testimony I want to care for her for the rest of her life... (ugh) Or...well, I could go on.
Anyway, folks, the information yall have provided here on this issue has been terrific. Regardless of the outcome of this case, and I dont know that I have a whole lot of hope for a good outcome, I just wanted to say how much fun it is being on the same side of the fence with you all for once.
Now, if youll excuse me, Im going to go back to hugging a tree or putting on Birkenstocks or eating Ben & Jerrys, or whatever it is that people like me do.
Respectfully, gRATefully (just a tip of the hat to Freeper sensibilities), and with hope Terris life can be spared,

Recently I have discovered that pushing abuse on the NMR is akin to saying "OH PULLLEZZZEE POST THAT UGLY DARN THING 100 MORE TIMES". So...don't go there....
Looks like a demented penis, don't it?

Don't blame me. I only started the NMR rise to fame. His momentum is his own, he has Star Power.

It's easy to disagree with people here and not get banned. I have been doing it since 1998.
Just don't get personal. Attack with facts. Make them prove their claims. Don't let anyone get away with saying something is so, without proving it is so.
It seems to have worked well for me. Heck, I even go toe to toe with the founder of FR and get away with it. :P

My husband was surprised when I told him the facts of this case.
He had been told by the MSM that Terri has been brain dead for 15 years.
