Someone in the media should answer another question. Who is Michael Schiavo? Where did he come from? What kind of environment was he raised in? What made him so vicious and hateful? Why did he kill her?
Maybe someday I'll be watching his case on some Court TV crime story.
That was my thought, exactly.
Also, I can't believe Terri Schindler Schiavo is the complete and utter "naife" this article portrays her as. As if being surrounded by stuffed animals is some factor in her happiness! I will confess to having a very small stuffed animal of sentimental value with me when I had a rather traumatic hospital surgery a few years ago, but it's hardly the same thing methinks. And furthermore, the whole idea of all the flowers and piped-in music for her is totally creepy...it's the funeral before she's actually died!!
Sorry for the long post...I had to say something sometime despite the voluminous posts already here, but I mostly wanted to agree with your point about Michael Schiavo. I wonder how he feels about stuffed animals, for example?? And did they ever have any real pets, like a dog? That would seem relevent, except to Judge Greer and those abetting him by rubber-stamping his "rule-of-law" findings, no matter how flawed or compromised his conclusions and rulings may have been, and despite the indisputable fact that anyone in any state of health would die if all food and water were withheld.
Given the circumstances, I can't believe this all is just continuing to go forward. Why isn't there some terrific smart lawyer who could bring the right questions to the the right court/judge (even the Sherriff's department, maybe??) so the real "rule of law" could kick in?? How is it that a circuit judge has more power under Florida law than the governor? or the U.S. House??
