You have done well and I commend you for that. And I respect your choice to refrain from launching yourself on a fool's mission that would benefit no one-I made that same choice.

I also respect the Bush brothers for making the same wise choice. We all grieve for Teri and treasure her precious life as much as any life on this earth and cringe in dismay at the thought of her losing this long battle for survival, not to conditions that are beyond the scope of medical science to deal with, but to the wishes of a husband (in name only) who finds her continueing to live an inconvenience, and to the arrogance of a dictatorial Judicial system, that has the unmittigated gall to consider themselves qualified to determine whether a person's quality of life is fit to continue, and given themselves the power to end it if they deem it not to be.

God could have taken care of things with far greater ease than could the Bush brothers. Are you sore at him too?

George and Jeb are Christians and pray over difficult decisions. Are you qualified to say they are not obeying his will?

"I also respect the Bush brothers for making the same wise choice."

This is where our philosophies part company. One of the 'Bush brothers', our President, is called the most powerful man on earth, while his brother Jeb is the highest elected official in Florida. They CAN make a difference by intervening, while you and I cannot. Wishing to avoid a potential governmental conflict they chose not to use their full powers to stop Terri Schiavo from being starved to death. I call it political cowardice, you may call it what you want.

I also call to your attention that the Congress, in an emergency session, mandated the judiciary to hear Terri Schiavo's FULL case again, to which they blatantly refused. The President and the House Speaker could have intervened right then and there and ordered Terri Schiavo into Federal custody because her civil and religious rights appeared to be grossly violated. But for political purposes he chose not to.

As for Jeb Bush, he commands the Florida State Police and National Guard, and some Constitutional experts say he has the clear authority to take (State) custody of Terri Schiavo. I would have been satisfied if he had truly given this a shot. But all we got was some half-baked story about the State Police attempting to get Terri but then backing down when the local cops said they would not let them. Which is a whole lotta b.s., if you ask me.
