And note that the very first response to this posting was: "Who is Terri Schiavo?" There is no more interest in Terri. She's gone and forgotten. During her ordeal, Free Republic was loaded with threads about Terri. Now, nothing. Very sad commentary on how "committed" we really are to tragic stories like this, and to the memories of people who, as you say, was murdered by the State only because she was helpless.

Thousands read and participated in the Terri threads. This evening, only 42 were interested enough to read the article.

Char, I have full confidence that many more people read the title of this article and are still very concerned with this issue. There was no need to read the article because we know the details all too painfully. The title IS the message. I personally am a little frustrated about what to do to accomplish sorely needed meaningful change. I don't know if eliminating the judicial filibuster will help much. Something evil seems to happen to many judges when they're on the bench. An unchecked judiciary is NOT a good thing, and our congresscritters don't seem to have enough integrity to perform their constitutional balancing DUTY.

Thank you for this post. Please do not get discouraged at apparent fading of this event. So different from other stories that come and go, the plight of Terri has touched hearts and continues to do so in a way we cannot yet appreciate.

Hidious evil has been unmasked by this event. People's lives have changed for the better because of what they now comprehend. Much emphasis has shifted to other levels, new email networks springing up, people waking up.

Terri's plight marks a sea change for how we view our country and our world in religious terms and in politics. I predict it will become more apparent as time goes by that much good will be manifest by Terri's suffering.

Remember Char, we've got different time zones and early to bed folks too. In general I must agree but let's not be so hard on us just yet.

I wouldn't get discouraged at that, the thread has a catchy
title, that helps, but it posted after midnight eastern, and
didn't make it onto the sidebar where most people scan for
interesting new articles. The sidebar adds about a 10X bump
to its visability. I think this one would have qualified
as an 'editorial' so it could have been put onto that sidebar.
Pinglists add another big bump too and our biggest pinglist'er
OfF has gone awol, we all pray she is OK.

My frustration over the way the nation seems to have moved on
matches yours!!

I will never cease to be extremely interested until justice is served
to every wicked person who either aided and abetted in her murder
or failed to spare her life.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of leadership for where we
go from here and it is made all the worse by the fact that those who
do care are scattered all over the nation.

I'm praying that Mark Furhman's and Cheryl Ford's books will jump
start an action plan.

I did read yesterday about a woman who is still protesting at the intersection down the street from Woodside Hospice near the Winn Dixie
store that towed the cars of the protestors. People still care and want to
support and love the Schindlers, IMO!

I can sum it up for you. Some of our articles are getting moved to the smoky backroom or to the bloggers section. We are still here but placement is almost completely out of our hands.

If we keep being moved, I'll have to find somewhere else to do my thing. What's more conservative than stopping judicial activism that leads to judicial homicide?

Believe me, we are still active, just not getting traffic at FR because of placement. You should be glad you got to stay in news/activism.

There's a protest this Saturday afternoon outside of Hospice Woodside to emphasize that we have not forgotten. It starts at 4:00 pm until whenever. I've got to make yet another sign. It will be Saturday so we can park in the bank parking lot. A lady named Lisa has been protesting every single day outside Hospice since Terri died and we are going to join here on Saturday.

This was one of the complaints I had about the so-called Terribots who where so adamant about what was happening to her.

They were so and mean spirited in there responses to anyone who dared to differ with them.

Now that the 'story' has passed I bet the majority of these people have moved on to more important things.

>>>And note that the very first response to this posting was: "Who is Terri Schiavo?" There is no more interest in Terri. She's gone and forgotten....

Charlite, I forgot to mention... Notice the '**S**' at the end.

That is a common chat-room abbreviation for either SMILE or SARCASM, i dont recall which, but no matter, he didn't mean it the way you said.

Just remember what one in the Terri-haters-club the (WPPFF) Wannabe Pontius Pilates and Freeper Frauds said, and I'm just paraphrasing from memory...

"just wait till she [Terri] dies, the terri-bots [meaning us] will be so fragile that pushing them over the edge will be like taking candy from a baby"
