I'm sorry but that picture is just pathetic. If people really cared about the Terri issue there would be tens of thousands, no, hundreds of thousands of people surrounding the hospice, 24 hours a day.

What happens instead is emails, phone calls, online petitions and photoshops - all of which can be done without actually getting off your arse.

If I see one picture of an American Eagle with a tear in it's eye posted after Terri passes away, I swear that my PC gets thrown out of the window.

Good. I'm making a note to self to post an eagle with a tear in its eye.

I believe I read "dozens of supporters" outside the hospice.

Anyone who thinks that action is the answer, damn the law, and full steam ahead, should grab a gun and go there and get here. Or hire some mercenaries and send them in.

Then start praying for the other innocent people who will be hurt in all this—the wives and children of the police officers who are doing their duty outside the hospice. Or the bystanders who will catch stray bullets.

Thank you, Mr. Toad. Well Put!

What bothers me is where has everyone been the last 10 years or so when this kill-happy so-called-husband has gotten engaged to another (why is he still legally married to Terri??)......or why isn't a law in effect stating when a feeding tube should not be yanked out if the person is conscious? Those two thing better change down here....

I hate to, but I have to agree with you. If there were crowds outside her window the size of the ones in the Ukraine & Lebanon, more action might be taken for Terri. Lots of us want to go, but cannot take off from our jobs to do so. Emails are all I can do, I guess. Obviously, it's not enough. I think Terri will die & at this point, I'm praying her death will help a greater good, just like Jesus' death did. Sometimes God's will is for us to die & poor Terri may very well do so. We have to change the laws so this can't happen again & we have to continue to pray for a miracle for Terri, so many people care for her - it has to make a difference.

Based on the pictures I saw yesterday, there are more reporters at the hospice than there are protesters. There weren't more than 50 people protesting.

The hysteria around here is not -- thank goodness -- characteristic of the nation as a whole.

I hate to agree with yo but you may be right.
IMHO Easter Sunday will be the test. If the hospice is not surrounded by those that truly care for Terri than my hopes dim, actually they already have.

You'd be doing us all a favor, believe me.
