Was it too long for you to read? Maybe you should stick to Dick And Jane.

Yeah...I may be grammatically impaired, but at least I have a heart. I can improve. But you?

OH THAT MAKES ME SICK! I assume his parents are talking him through this. The world turned upside-down.

Oh...and lest we forget...
Should the Judge ( and I use the term 'Judge' in the loosest of all ways) have enforced his ruling that that pig attend depositions regarding his lack of guardianship care? Hmmmmmmmmm....
Hope the sentence is short enough for you to wade through.
Judge Greer is a muderer. And so is Michael the Monster. And so was the system that failed to stand for Terri's rights.

Yeah.
A lack of heart is always evident.

Now you're comparing the democratically elected government of Florida to the Nazis? Again with the legalisms? Hitler was "democratically elected". What good did that do in terms of the morality of the things he did? Saddam Hussein was "democratically elected" in Iraq, to hear it told. Did that make the things he did acceptable because they were legal?
Are you even able to distinguish the difference between legality and morality? Don't you understand that the mechanics of how those who hold power over others obtain it have little bearing on the larger moral questions? What matters, from an ethical viewpoint, is the nature of the actions those in power take when they exercise that power. No matter how much you argue legalities and process and mechanics, you will not convince me that killing an innocent person is moral or just. It may be to you, but to base a society on such principles is to forfeit any claim to being civilized, much less just.
And you terri-bots wonder why government officials in Florida won't take your calls?
You have some nerve with that "terri-bot" crap when you seem to base your argument completely on legalistic process and mechanics. If anyone, you and those who lusted for Terri's death are more like death-bots, driven to kill an innocent person to satisfy nothing more than an unthinking, unfeeling, mechanical legal process. Greasing the wheels of death, more or less.
And, no, I don't call "government officials" in Florida. There is a higher power that I answer to, as they, and you, will, eventually. I will not have Terri's blood on my hands. But those who killed her, and those who agreed with and supported the acts of those who killed her, will.

I have to run some errands now. By the time I get back, I expect the two biggest trolls will have made an entrance. Have fun!

Judge Greer is a muderer. And so is Michael the Monster. If you say so. Good luck with your prosecution.
Oh, wait. You're not a prosecutor, are you? So you can't actually file any charges.

Again with the legalisms? Hitler was "democratically elected". Not really. He got something like a third of the vote then manipulated events and dissolved the Weimar Republic.
Are you even able to distinguish the difference between legality and morality?
Sure. I just don't see anything immoral about letting a woman in a vegitative state die in accordance with her wishes.
I will not have Terri's blood on my hands. But those who killed her, and those who agreed with and supported the acts of those who killed her, will.
Yawn. Same old, same old.

Nope. For the record, I believe ted kennedy and oj simpson are also murderers. Course it is my opinion, just like I believe that MS and Greer are murderers, and I believe the system that allowed them to function served as a murderer, too. And knowing that MS's attorney, while serving MS, worked with a panel to get FL law makers to pass a law making FOOD and WATER an artifical means of sustaining life, is a murderer, too. Along with the representatives in FL that supported this and the reps in Florida that refused to save Terri's life. Yeah. All are a part of the murder of Terri Schindler.
But according to MS, this is not possible, because he SAYS she died on the day of her collapse, and put that belief on her TOMBSTONE for all to see. Oh well....I'll search for better grammar and you can search for a heart. And we will simly disagree, deeply on this, forever. Perhaps someday our Father in heaven will sort it all out for us.
Oh, and you are right, I am not a prosecutor. I am, like you, sharing opinions and beliefs.

At what point do you believe a child develops a brain of his/her own? If a 10 year old isn't capable of knowing that it's wrong to torture a woman to death for the crime of being disabled, at what age would he be old enough?
I'm not saying that he doesn't have a moral sense. But him actually going to the hospital and getting arrested - sorry, that's not a 10-yr-old acting unilaterally...
To: GBA
It is a magnificent non-apology.
Good kid. His parents are doing an admirable job. Making him write an apology letter reminds me of "self-criticism" in China during the Cultural Revolution. He aint playing along. Good kid!

My son said if he were there he'd try to go in and give her water. And I wouldn't have stopped him if we'd been outside the place.
And how would he have gotten outside the place? C'mon - you can't really think this 10-yr-old conceived and executed this entire plan and got himself arrested without help from his parents, do you?

To: annalex
I teach my children that it is their duty to give water to the thirsty and the dying if no one else would do it. I also teach my children that immoral laws should not be obeyed. Tell me how I am wrong.
You are not wrong and I agree with you. But that doesn't mean that you should drive your 10-yr-old son to a protest area and get him arrested.
To answer your question, there is a difference between protesting and doing work of charity. To send a child who cannot comprehend a knotty political controversy, with a slogan, is indeed using a child as a prop. To send a child to do charity, (or in this case, not to prevent a child from doing charity), even if threatened by the cops, is good parenting.
As far as the police and the hospital were concerned, those outside were political protestors. They were publicly expressing their disapproval of completely legal actions that were being carried out in the hospital. That they may have been morally correct does not change the fact that the people outside the hospital were making a political protest - a protest against the status quo as it applies to right-to-life laws. Sorry, I don't see that bringing a child to one of these events and getting him arrested for whatever reason is good parenting. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Michael Schiavo's appeared on "Larry King Live," and said:
"We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want.."
