"I can't get over the basic misunderstandings there are about PVS"
The video "snippit" of her seemingly following the balloon has fooled a lot of people....shown many times on TV.
The parent's and one doc's refusal to acknowledge what other the other doctors said and they have a michrophone to put out only the one side. (Just witnessed this on Fox, however, the reporter did conclude with, there are conflicting opinions.)
Hannity and Rush only seeing one side and vocalizing it over the airwaves. Congressmen and, just saw Pat Boone do the same thing.
Blindness of faith and emotion.
Usually reliable Freeper's known for being skeptical about everything aren't being so in this case....unless it's about courts and judge Greer.
How's that? :-)
That Sean, Rush and Senator (and Doctor) Frist have put out such misleaing and outright false statements is an embarrassment, frankly.
One of my neighbors is a nurse and she called me, twice now, after hearing some of the crap our side is putting out and said "Is this a joke?"
And have you seen freepers who think we should accept the word of some guy who "claims" to be a doctor on the internet who runs some website called CodeBlue or something like that? He says the doctors are all wrong and Terri' brain scan isn't really that bad. LOL
And now we have freepers think we should accept his word. But let's not accept the word of doctors and therapists who actually testified under oath and were subject to cross examination.
Are we living in an alternate universe or what? I've never seen anything like it.
I must get 50 freepmails a day from people telling me their parents experienced exactly what Terri is going through (tube withdrawal) following a massive stroke, etc. and thanking me for trying to get the truth out there. They say they don't want to speak out because of the mob atmosphere on FR and fear being called a liar about a subject that is still painful to them. Or being called a mother murderer or something because they let their mom go this way.
It's a sad, sad day for Free Republic. I discussed this with my husband for nearly 2 hours today. He's met several freepers we've had in our home for dinner but at this point, he thinks they are all nuts and he's not too happy with me trying to educate what he termed are obviously the "uneducable". It's like swimming against the tide.
