It's too late for Terri.

Lose the pessimism. Good grief. She's still alive and fighting. Which is more than I can say for you.

"Lose the pessimism. Good grief. She's still alive and fighting. Which is more than I can say for you."

Really?

I'm in great health and see reality for what it is. The woman is past the point of return. She's not "fighting". Obviously you've never witnessed anyone dying, she's not "fighting" anything. She's laying there dying and looks awful. She's on pain medication because starvation is painful. They can only guess at her discomfort level.

You are right about trying to lose the pessimism. If anything is to be accomplished here, bipartisan effort has to be made. It is possible for someone to be a complete jerk and yet not condone murder. While rifts can be wide, not every liberal is lining up on the side of death for Terri.

Still, since the hatred for the brothers Bush is so deep, this has all gotten lumped into partisan politics instead of just being an issue of human decency and rights. If Jackson's involvement helps Democrats in Florida feel like they help her without being traitors to their party, it will be a good thing.

Though it may be late in coming and while I'm no Jackson fan, this has been the only bright spot of hope in the last few days. We should at least be open to the possibility that it might spur an eleventh hour reprieve through a massive effort of both republican and democrat Floridians. I still pray for that.
