No, I said that you should hope that a mugger did not intend your death, unlike Michael Schiavo intended Terri's death.
Do you still believe that Michael and Greer should have forbid Terri's mother to offer ice chips to her daughter after the March 5 ruling?
Comments...Schmomments... they are so small (yet satisfying) in the grand scale of things.
Michael Moore got a Palme D'Or at Cannes for making whole movie filled with inflammatory rhetoric.
yeah but at least he has it right on the question that mattered, and wrong where he needed to be wrong!
"This issue is resonating with many people. And I think the Democratic party has really dug their grave with their silent approval of this travesty."
I believe you are correct...
FOX did run the story continually, and some were dismayed, but at least we heard both aspects, and the conflicting stories. They made some mistakes, but we pestered them, and in the end they usually got things right.
The MSM on the other hand devoted far much less attention to it, continued with their soaps and sitcoms, and never responded to corrections.
Thus, their audience reflected what they were given. They were as starved for truth as Terri was starved for life!
Where does the medical community come down on this? O'Reilly showed himself on the issue, cutting off people who answered his questions unsuitable to his ideals. He had tunnel vision on this, restating the "facts" and flat out ignoring other points of view.
There really are two separate questions:
Would you want to live like Terri? and
Would you want to be slowly starved to death over 13 days, like Terri?
The first question is so ridiculous, for who would ever answer 'YES'?
The second question, for any thinking person, is "NO".
Another contrived phrase "The Right to Die" does not exist in law. Civilized society has determined there is no "Right to Kill" but it was done in this case,under cover of law.
Life experience and common sense screamed for a more thorough review of the facts and the law before Terri was killed.
In FR we have seen the righteous indignation of anti-euthenasia people (called hysterical) and the callous legalisms of the 'rights of the spouse' side.
Life will never be the same for FR - or, more importantly, the Schindlers

True, and that is going to come back and bite them in the butt. The truth about what has happened to Terri is coming out and the American people are starting to figure out that their opinion regarding "pulling the plug" was used to kill Terri. The two situations are completely different. One is withholding extraordinary measures to keep someone alive, the other is starving a perfectly healthy body with a disability.
Amazing, isn't it, that when given the facts, most Americans will choose the right thing to do.

Amazing, also, is when some ARE GIVEN THE FACTS, some refuse to believe them until AFTER the fact. As we have witnessed here.
Also I've read that the Schindlers used their retirement money and paid for Terri's rehab. After the lawsuit Michael was expected to repay the Schindlers and continue the rehab, which he refused to do once he had control of the money.
So the three years of rehab can be credited to the parents not MS
Old Media will pay further. So will the party of death. Most importantly the judiciary has stepped into it and brilliantly made our case for us. They are an elitist judiciary as out of touch as the media.
Further, it is incomprehensible that a President, or congress will suffer because they erred on the side of life.
Ping
Maybe FR will learn a little something about how to word a poll.
Current Poll options re: James Madison...blah blah blah...is it a myth?
No, but headed that way (in other words: no, but soon to be yes)
Yes, always been that way (the eternal yes)
Don't Know ('NO' is not an option - if you mean 'NO' you clearly are confused and you really mean 'Don't Know')
Pass (I couldn't find a real NO option, so I guess this is all that is left for me)
Michael has got to be the most hated man in America today. The more the truth comes out, the more hated he will be
Good post.

This is what happens when politicians allow polls to manipulate them. The MSM was so intent on killing Terri they manipulated the polls and some in Congress and in Florida ran scared rather than to save Terri.
The MSM has no conscience,morals nor desire to print the truth they are nothing more than Propaganda machines for the Liberals in America.
