Exactly! More and more Freepers are taking stories like this as gospel and, as the saying goes, "assuming facts not in evidence". One here wants to burn down every hospice in the country. I just hope folks chill out and find out the rest of the story. If it's as reported by WND, then the judge, the granddaughter, and the hospice have a lot of explaining to do, and some litigation to deal with. Let's just wait and see the other side of it, if there is another side.
Time to get out your dictionary!
WND has never missed an opportunity to fan the flames if they thought it would increase readership. If there's something to this, we'll see it in the mainstream press shortly, admittedly with its own spin.
Hey, all you "dump on WND" freepers, you need to put your glasses on and re-read WND's story once again.
Much as so many are acusing some of us who are outraged at this situation of jumping to conclusions and waiting to learn all the facts, it appears that some of "you" have been negligent in your own "due dilligence."
NOWHERE, in this story does it reference this "taking place in Florida!!"
The ONLY reference to Florida, is in making a comparison to the Schiavo case:
"In a situation · recalling the recent death of Terri Schiavo in Florida, an 81-year-old widow, denied nourishment and fluids for nearly two weeks, is clinging to life· in a hospice in LaGrange, Ga., while her immediate family fights desperately to save her life before she dies of starvation and dehydration."
"Let's just wait and see the other side of it, if there is another side."
Wait for the other side? After the woman, with a living will, non-terminal, non-vegitative has food held for two weeks, then reinserted because of POA not in granddaughters hands, judge rules temporaily POA over weekend, allows tube to be reyanked until final ruling.
My God! If this isn't a case that deserves a temporary reprieve until all is investigated then I don't know what the F@$K is. And if my instincts are right, and I looked through all your Schiavo postings, I'm sure I'd find you arguing all about a lack of a living will, Michael had guardianship/POA which the granddaughter in this case didn't have but the hospice accepted it anyway. Hell, this poor woman doesn't even match the criteria to be in the hospice anyways.
Find your soul before it's too late. And that goes for sinkspur and dog gone too!
