This editorial is from the Jerusalem Post. Helps me to know where I (a non-Jew) would like to retire, so I don't fall into the hands of a death-camp mentality, like Judge Greer's court! I'd rather take my chances with suicide bombers than the Florida legal system.

The American People are responsible for Terry's Death as much as this HINO MS.

The American People treat elections as if it were solely a financial issue.

The American People don not believe that a persons support of the murder of innocents is an election issue.

The American People believe that the election of Judges, or appointment by a President is not an important issue.

The American People stand by while the Socialist Dumocrats prevent Judges that believe in the Constitution from appointment.

The American People have brought this culture of Death down upon our heads, and a large majority appear to have accepted this Death cult with the idea, it can never happen to me.

How naive

The American people and the Congress have allowed the left-wing court to take over the country in direct violation of the Constitution. To get it back we need to pressure congress and if not successful start a new political party that will keep our freedoms under the Constitution from being taken away by left-wing black robed tyrants.

I hope that this doesn't over-exerpt, but the final two paragraphs are important:

"The Schiavo case meets none of the stringent criteria applied in Israel. Her condition isn't terminal. She can survive for many years, which is perhaps what troubles her estranged husband, who has a new family and children with a common-law wife. Schiavo left no living will and the Florida courts were swayed merely by the husband's contention that she had spoken against artificial life support after viewing a sad movie. Finally, the position of a husband who hasn't visited or cared for his stricken wife and has "moved on" wouldn't be preferred here over that of distraught parents who beg for the right to nurse their daughter.

Reverence for life dominates Jewish tradition. The late Jewish philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz wrote vehemently against "so-called mercy killings. To whom are we showing mercy? To the unconscious patient who may sense nothing, or to ourselves, liberating us from the physical and emotional burden that the patient's continued existence causes?... If we accept the notion that under certain circumstances the taking of human life is no crime, we may find the world swarming with pitiful human creatures whose termination is desirable. We must not yield to the argument that death is better than some unfortunate individuals' lives."
