Compassion and reality are not the same thing. I recognize both. Yes, it is truly unfortunate that Terri was not able to have minimal comfort to relieve her parched mouth and tongue. The reality is that the media circus the Schindlers deliberately set out to create played a significant part in that unfortunate circumstance.
Yes, of course, it was the SCHINDLER'S fault that Terri had to suffer Mikey, Felos and Greer forbidding her mouth and tongue so much as being moistened with a wet cloth. If not for the SCHINDLERS, Terri could have been hidden from the poor sensitive public for the DAYS she lay there with a parched mouth, throat and tongue. It would have all been over with, all nice and tidy, years ago - and we all could have passed by hurriedly on the other side of the street in our busy and normal lives on our way to Mickey D's for a big mac, coke and fries. . if not for those damn SCHINDLERS!
