Badray, why do you think the mother did not take part, but stood off to the side and watched what happened? Do you think she disagreed with what they were doing?

No, not at all. I think she was there to record the arrest if it somehow got ugly and to arrange for a lawyer or bail if needed. Especially coming from out of town, having one family member not in jail was a wise strategic move.

In all of your FReeps, haven't you encountered young Freepers with their parents? Have you spoken to them? I find them to be very intelligent, well versed, and quite articulate. I've seen them debate adults like they were adults.

I do agree that on the 'other side' there is indoctrination and parroting, but very little education. THAT is abusive.

Now, help me out here buddy. I just told someone that you are one of the good guys. ;-)

Did you read 631?

BTW - I believe what is happening to Terri is horrible. I don't understand how anyone, citizen, non-citizen, criminal, can show up at a hospital for treatment and the hospital be legally required to provide care regardless of ability to pay, until the patient can leave under their own power...but they can starve Terri to death.

I do believe in people being able to make living wills but I also believe if someone has not specified how they want these situations handled in advance, by legal written instrument, we assume they did not want any plugs pulled.
