Maybe one day I'll be as smart and self aware as you are and I too will be able to judge which lives are worthy of continued feeding and which ones aren't.
Fine, we'll both look forward to that day.
I agree, I think we've been had by liberals, and I think many have taken advantage of us. But, that doesn't mean we have to get nasty in our posts.
Ageed, and if I was nasty, bad on me.
"WRONG. You cannot see without cerebral cortex. You would be cortically blind. You could not follow with your eyes. You would have no recognition ability. You would have no emotion. Read up on your functional neuroanatomy before making such uninformed silly statements."
She can't see. She only has reflexive actions, involuntary ones. She has no emotions, other than the fictional ones made up by those who want her to have that which she doesn't. She has no cerebral cortex. She does have a brainstem that governs primitive reactions, such as breathing and reflexive actions. I'm sorry to say that it is you who is most uninformed, and you make things up to fit your delusions and then you project your emotions onto a woman in a persistent vegetative state. And the autopsy will prove my point shortly. But I'm sure you'll find a way to ignore the results of that also.
You're making it difficult for me to choose my favorite, you know. :o)
Here we go..... Sir, I knew Judas Iscariot... Judas Iscariot was friend of mine..... Jeb Bush, you are no Judas Iscariot!
(you're more of a Peter)
You weren't nasty, I think we all are on edge, we need to remember, do unto others.....
Your wasting your time arguing with flaglady. She's smarter than all of us. She knows all and sees all!
Sen Jim King won't be part of that, I'll betcha!
Well not even considering the guardianship statutes which Judge Greer allowed to be broken.
Fl Statute 38.10 provides that a judge recuse himself if requested by one of the parties in a proceeding.
Greer has ignored that one 5 times now.
Judge Greer admitted he made an error when considering the statement Terri made to a friend but would 'not' reverse his ruling. All the legal folks have said that in a criminal trial that error would have guaranteed a new trial.
Have you read this? Notice it's written by the man whose job it is to audit guardianship accounts. The Empire Journal reported that Greer does not allow the accounts to be fully audited.

"Dirty Tricks of Guardianships ‚ The Need for Change."
by Robert W. Melton, Chief Auditor, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Pinellas County
Pinellas County Internal Auditor Robert W. Melton recently lectured at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg on: "Dirty Tricks of Guardianships ‚ The Need for Change."
Here are just 10 of the "dirty tricks," as outlined by Pinellas County Internal Auditor Robert W. Melton:
1) Guardian creation of a trust: Remove all oversight by the court as a provision of the trust agreement; guardian becomes trustee; provide that the trustee can do whatever they want at their sole discretion.
2) Sell real estate at lowball price: Use "lowball" valuations as a benchmark; don't list property with Realtors; sell to a land trust, where nobody knows the beneficiary; watch property resold a few months later for a huge increase.
3) Maximize your (or your crony's) profit from investments: Hire money manager for "financial expertise" and let the manager select an investment broker; invest in volatile stocks and trade frequently to generate commissions; if you run up a large gain, don't selectively liquidate over time to pay the taxes but hold a "fire sale" to raise funds all in one day.
4) Undervalue beginning inventory: Have a used-furniture "friend" value a house full of antiques for $3,000; "forget" to put some of the more expensive items on the inventory; "forget" to include a $40,000 certificate of deposit.
5) Pay yourself first: Make payment of guardian and attorney fees the highest priority; disregard mortgage payments and let ward's home go into foreclosure; squirrel away money in the attorney's escrow account for possible future expenses.
6) Maintain guardianship at all costs: Keep family members uninformed; if family members try to become guardian, accuse them of stealing; use the ward's assets for legal fights to retain guardianship.
7) Improper financial reporting: Bury asset-management and brokerage fees as aggregate capital losses "due to market fluctuations"; don't classify disbursements separately; file incomplete or incorrect safe-deposit box inventories.
8) Forced incompetency: Visit assisted-living facilities and establish employee contacts; obtain voluntary limited financial guardianship; if there is money in the estate, do paperwork to force an evaluation of competency; get control over everything and the ward loses all rights.
9) Pay your attorney well: Let attorney bill full rate to shop for a computer and set it up for the ward; let attorneys bill their full rate, even if work is done by a paralegal or assistant.
10) Forget to file federal tax returns: Ensure there is a refund; wait till the ward dies; get check without oversight.
No argument there
Yes we will .. we always do
Just takes a little time
The Executive is a separate branch all on it's own. Their is no circumventing of anything for it to act according to its own constitutional authority.
I beg to differ with you.
Conservative leaders ( BUSH BROTHERS) who chose to cower to an unethical black robed Hitler & his minions and force death on an innocent handicapped woman in front of the whole world set conservatism back, not us!
It is a horrible thing that is happening to her, but it won't help to totally lose our cool. We've got to think of the other people in the same situation.
Doesnt matter... at this point Jeb would go to prison.. Later he would win, and possibly the judge would hit with legal actions.. But the simple fact that Jeb would be put in hand cuffs and brought to jail, even for 1 second.. would kill his political future.. Maybe not in your eyes, but in the eyes of the average american it would.... Lovely pictures of Jeb in handcuffs during his next run for some sort of office would just whipe him out. "He did it for a good cause" does not apply when it comes to politics.
you are right about that.
Here is a thought that I hope will be considered even by those who agree that Jeb and W have done all that they could within the law.
Michael Schiavo last week invited both the President and the Governor to visit his wife. I think they should go.
And bring her water.
Some argue that the Governor would be dangerously disrupting the balance of powers between the branches of government if he took executive action. Arresting him for bringing water would be such a breech as well, but it would be by those serving the court.
Fifty have already been arrested trying to bring Terri water. Go, Mr President. Go, Governor. Bring her water.
