Jeb's got the powah.
an admin moderator can take that post off for you before the loonies wake up tomorrow. ;-)
Wampus, does anyone know if something is being done at this hour, or has everyone gone home to bed? (lawyers, Jeb, DCF, etc)
The entire world is watching this entire drama unfold right before their eyes and many are absolutely horrified and chilled beyond belief at what they see.
When a great nation such as ours starts to dehumanize individuals in the way that Terri is being dehumanized in an organized effort to rationalize the killing off of those members of our society who are sick, disabled, no longer productive, "have worthless lives or lives not worth living" or "wish to die".
It is a sad day a very dark day in history.
The World's Superpower and Champion of Human Rights around the globe is starving and dehydrating a disabled woman to death and underage children who bring her water are being handcuffed and arrested.
Does that sum it up? Did I miss anything?
If China decides to put a bullet in the brain of all their retarded school children tomorrow, what can we say or do?
Next time we want to whine because Libya or Egypt is on the United Nations human rights council we better learn to bite our lip.
There is your perspective from overseas.
Greer belongs in prison or at least prosecuted.
These days, being called "Future Useless Eater" is like being called "Everyman" or "John Q. Public", if you catch my drift.
I like it.
I may be back, I may not. I want to catch some news that I couldn't earlier. If anything breaks while I'm up, I'll rush back here.
Otherwise, I'll catch you in the morning.
Sweet dreams, all!
Amen. Good night, polly. I need to do the same. Goodnight, FUE . . . I will always remember, love, and appreciate FLe, though...!
And our benediction to Terri: May angels seen and unseen continue to guard, protect, and oh, Lord, DEFEND her from all additional harm and insults -- strengthen her body, mind, and spirit still longer. Please, Jeb, hurry it up. We're cheering you on, and praying for your efforts.
I sent this out to my email list the 26th of last month:
SCHIAVO PARENTS TO APPEAL GREER DEATH ORDER ~ Grants Final Stay Until March 18
My dentist, my brother--so many people were unaware of the facts, assuming the Goebellsian mantra to be true.
Hence, listening to Frist on the Senate floor last Friday night was too Mozart for words.
There's evil here, wide, deep and high.
ooooh, that was weird -- I wrote both FLe and FUE in the To: field, and the FUE didn't show in the post! like a, uh, vampire or something?! same thing in this post... it will show one or the other, but not both...
"Eleanor Clift said, "She's on a breathing tube, she can't breathe on her own."And the Fox Host (Rich Lowry?) did not correct her. I called the Fox comment line, "
I heard it too!! By the time the oxygen came back from my shock, she was off camera and I forgot who they were and I didn't have things set up to email yet.
Good for you in calling them!
What I'm noticing is, even the biggest names have minimal facts on Terri sometimes...not caught up yet. Gotta get the word out.
does it end up showing only the FIRST one?
try sending something just to the OLD name please
I want to know if it lights up my PINGS flag
I wish I knew. There was some conjecturing that SCOTUS *can* work thru the night, but no one's sure if they are. No recent word from Jeb. FV got followed by the cops. The people at the vigil will be there thru the night - prayers going up for them. That's how it stands at this hour, iirc.
Or...I won't say it. Have you read this? http://www.theempirejournal.com/35052_schiavo_judge_tells_dcf.htm "The Pinellas County death judge who acted in contempt of Congress by defying a federal subpoena designed to save the life of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo issued an order Wednesday afternoon saying that anyone giving the disabled woman treatment that will save her life is breaking the law and will be held in contempt of court---including Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida’s Department of Children and Families, Florida’s Department of Law Enforcement and apparently, even President Bush."
Jeb Bush or George Bush needs to put Terri in protective custody, and they CAN do it.
Here's what I sent (and am sending to the President address Sun just gave).
Dear Governor Bush,
I haven’t lived in Florida since I was a kid. But I can’t believe what’s going on there regarding Terri.
I know that I don’t have all the information regarding the case, but that doesn’t keep me from having an opinion based on trying to listen to both sides of the situation.
Basically, I can’t believe that a “husband” who abandoned his wife for another woman and children with her (something to do with the ‘through sickness and health, ‘til death do us part’), is erroneously considered her legal guardian, when there is a loving family (not to mention millions of Americans), who actually has her best interests (as well as her life) in mind.
Please do the right thing and put her feeding tube back while the debates are going on.
It’s not going to hurt anyone for her to have a few extra months for allegations to be looked into, but she can’t live that long without food and water. Also, I can’t understand the restrictions on her family that won’t allow them to give her moisture. That seems unconscionable. Animals and convicts are treated better than that.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter (time is something Terri does not have).
Seems it was already done. :-)
Thanks!
Congress needs to haul his hind end up to DC so fast his head swims.
