BTW, the energy and sustain of your posts on this matter, imo,. tell that your heart is on the right side in this. (If that is not actually so, if it is only a foil then that energy itself will act upon your heart to make it so. Whatver Miss T eats becomes Miss T and all that.)

Who?

[TheForceOfOne]

Well said, If they don't like they way things are they must work to change it, legally. The Supreme Court rejected all attempts in this case to date to save Terri. Those who wish to achieve the political agenda of the right must realize that if we are divided and turn on our own we will lose the gains we have made and fail at all attempts in the future. Leveling charges against the Bush's by our own side may end up costing us Supreme Court nominations and a whole lot more that what some are upset about on this thread. Trolls that lurk here know this and fan the flames at each opportunity. The abortions will not stop until the Supreme Court changes in our favor, nor will the advancement of the gay agenda, etc. I would save Terri if I could, I think her case is very unclear as to her wishes and I feel for her family, I wish she had a will no matter what it said about the feeding tube.

Respect for adherence to the rule of law as a currency on this forum has about as much value these days as the Mark did in Wiemar Germany. Even though posters on this forum have a lot more from a physical standpoint of their cerebral cortex than Terri unfortunately did, too many are just are not using that part of their brain very much on this issue. But this too shall pass. Then perhaps folks will coalesce as to doing something constructive, so that we don't have a repeat episode of this horrific event. I'm an optimist. Keep the faith.

[incredulous joe]

Yep. One of the reasons that I said I think Jeb will be haunted by this is because I actually think the guy gives a damn.

Again, the same can't be said for those who actively starved Schiavo. Seems to me that there are a lot of folks in this thread who would gleefully blame the Bushes for everything, or call Hilary a Nazi. Sort of off topic and not particularly constructive stuff, but I guess I understand the passions that drive us all to this.

I suppose that I'd like to think Terri's life - consequently, her death - has a higher purpose. To that end, maybe it has been, and should continue to be, bringing people of like mind and similar values together. If we believe in life we should be more courteous and respectful towards one another,...and work for life in the future.

And not to the Congress or Presidents or Governors, or these unseemly and often ugly demonstrations outside of a dying person's hospice.

It seems to be the chosen way. Take for example abortion. It, too, has been removed from the realm of gov't control, and left to be a personal decision. You are also pro-abortion too?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

That is true that feeding tubes do get pulled on terminally ill people everyday. I have had a personal experience with that- as many have.

But Terri was not dying- until the government started to starve her 11 or 12 days ago.

This may be a fine point to you- but there is a huge difference between a right to kill issue and a right to die issue.

[Howlin]

You will not be ignored or forgotten.

[AmishDude]

Actually, the legislature is the supreme branch. But the Judiciary has certain powers. If they didn't, then all cases would be decided by bureaucrats.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Who has the power to pardon? That is where the buck stops.

[Jorge]

.. because Michael is a little devil and he will answer for what he did eventually. The judges have been exposed as the culture of death leftists they are, there is no way the RATS look good on this issue in the long run. They created the death cult , it's their baby.

"Devil"? "Culture of death"?
This IS and HAS BEEN quite legal for years.

Where have you people been all this time?

[HighWheeler]

"The unappeasables are not very grateful for that Jeb has done."

Yeah, and OJ Simpson only had one bad night in his entire life and no one wants to forget that either.

[freecopper01]

expatguy,

Yes.

Americans are worthy of Freedom.

Not because of today's people.

But because my God has given us Free Will to exercise and that is done with the joys and responsibilities of Freedom.

If I did not believe so, I would not have bothered replying to AmishDude.

He's the type who would undercut the nation for his joy and entertainment.

He and his ilk have always been around.

Our founding fathers had issues they coudln't take on, for fear of not being able to get this country going. They made good decisions - they made bad ones.

That's human.

But they didn't pretend their bad decisions were good decisions.

Back to Freedom.

There will come a day when we do not have it.

But that time is a whole other story.

It can be read in Revelation.

This is a walk in the park compared to what will come.

But we must still stand for what is right and just - for the children and innocents - for the glory of God.

[TAdams8591]

You erroneously seem to think the more frequently an immoral act occurs, the less wrong it becomes.

If thousands of people are STARVED and DEHYDRATED to death daily, a fact I have not been unaware of, there is a larger moral dilemma than many people previously thought.

[Cboldt]

That ignores the fact that the religious right, with all the noise it's making on turning against the GOP, will infuence others in the middle.

That holds that the religious right has an influence.

[Torie]

Jeb doesn't have the power to keep people he throws in jail lawlessly for more than an hour or two. The next thing that happens is that he is removed from office. I know this is an emotional issue, but my best suggestion, is to try to think some of this through a bit more. Just a suggestion.

[John Lenin]

Make that the Shindlers have been done favor, their nightmare fighting a stacked deck in the courts and a son in law that I would wish on no one is almost over.

[TheDon]

Perhaps then you can comfort your conscience as to the humanity of prolonging a person in a hopeless state of living death, to suffer indefinitely because you don't believe in removing a feeding tube.

I've heard this argument, but it conflicts with the "they can't feel pain" argument, and the "they are not self-aware" argument.

[sinkspur]

George Bush, the majority of the Senate, the majority of the House are fringers? You live on a strange planet.

No. Those who advocate that George W. and Jeb Bush break the law are the fringers.
