I believe this is exactly what many Freepers stated would happen in due course of time. That he would continue to profit, and further the cause of his lawyer.

Here is a quote that may explain why so many millions of Americans were perfectly comfortable with the extermination of the "nonperson" (in their eyes) Terri Scindler: “Man’s love of truth is such that he loves something which is not the truth, he pretends to himself that what he loves is the truth, and because he hates to be proved wrong, he will not allow himself to b e convinced that he is deceiving himself.” – St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430), in Confessions

But Schiavo is smarter than Peterson and much more admired by the American people.

I took an interest in the whole sordid mess, because of forced abortion in China, and our country's abortion laws. Even worse than remembering how to spell names, I murder them in the pronunciation. I think I'm going to google up the info. No one says anything about Romania anymore, and now I'm curious.

I was thinking of adding the testimony of the nurses, however, I forgot about MS's first gf. Another red flag ignored.

Nurses talk amongst themselves, and my aunt told me a couple of instances where relatives wanted the patient to go a little quicker. She's still disgusted with one woman who insisted that her mother needed more morphine. The woman reported my aunt to the doctor, and he straightened the woman out. Unfortunately, the patient became depressed and died within the week. The woman was her daughter...

MS had the death cult embrace him for their cause. MS wanted her gone and his enablers want to take life. And others, put them self in the middle of the picture, didn't want the gov't interfering w/family matters. They focused on 'them self' instead of looking at a the real picture - a disabled person being killed by her adulterous husband while her parents begged to take care of her. For some, perhaps the reality of the situation was too 'close for comfort'.

Like certain people like Cindy "mother moonbat" Sheehan, Michael Schiavo is using the death of a relative in an inappropriate manner.

MS cries about wanting others to avoid the public scrutiny that he chose to go through, when they decide to murder a family member. See post #20 for some facts.

MS is being investigated, because he keeps sticking his face out there. Why isn't he spending this time being a father to his children? A husband to Jodie? Why did he and his brother create a PAC using Terri's name if he just wants to move on? Did you know that MS's brother Brian is the treasurer for this PAC? Brian is also owner and agent for a business called "Creative Marketing". Guess who's going to be in charge of booking all of MS's public appearances?

Smart criminals keep a low profile.

Surely the cause you would carry on in Terri's name has some deeper point to make than how much you hate Michael Schiavo.

Lord, what a boring book. His writing reminds me of a student who inserts too many adjectives to pad the word count. The tax case sounded interesting, though. Manny something vs IRS.

My feelings for Michael Schiavo are not personal. I feel the same way about Scott Peterson, Tookie Williams, Susan Smith, Karla Harmolka(sp), and anyone else who murders innocent people. I especially loathe those who get away with it. How do feel about OJ?

Any cause I may have is that people should be educated about emerging views within the courts and medical community, regarding the rights of those unable to speak for themselves. Just because they can't scream, don't think you can read their minds.

Ah - there you go... isn't that a ~much~ better cause than "Michael Schiavo is a baaaad maaaan".

I don't presume to read the mind of anyone... But I can't speak for everyone... on either side of this issue. But you're right that issues of medical and family ethics, human frailty and death will likely to continue to be subjects of much debate for years to come.

He's going to be running for office. He already has a PAC and is constantly getting media time.

Do you know the meaning of the word "hyperbole"?

Someone as evil as MS will slip and one day be brought to justice.

I wanted to refresh my memory. Here are some moving stories about the children in the Romanian orphanages.

http://www.hri.ca/tribune/viewArticle.asp?ID=2650

http://www.sfu.ca/mediapr/Releases/News/1997/March97/orphans.html

Not just in Romania...
http://hrw.org/reports98/russia2/Russ98d-05.htm

The reason I posted the links, is because of the repeated remarks about neglected infants and children lapsing into a vegetative state, due to lack of human contact and stimuli.

Excuse me, but imo, Michael Schiavo IS a bad person for what he did.

No matter what you personally think, everyone must be vigilant so that they are not abused when or if the time comes.

"Vast majority?"

Like you, I find that very hard to believe. I certainly hope that's not the case.

I've followed the Schiavo case. The effect it had on me was so disturbing that I told myself I will never get in that position again.

I see Michael Schiavo, George Greer, George Felos and all who aided them as pure evil. And they're not finished yet with spreading their agenda of deciding who deserves to live and who does not.

Who will challenge them...and win?

"...has made us rewrite..."

I'm curious. Did either of you sign a Living Will? Maybe they differ from state to state but I've read warnings about these documents. I am skeptical.

It sounds like you and your spouse have designed your own "wills" as to actions to be taken in regard to various circumstances.

It's not an easy subject...what to do. Our grandparents or great-grandparents did not have to deal with it.

For those of us who have a loving spouse or relative, or even a close friend, we have to trust them to know what to do.

"He'll get his someday."

I want to see MS get "his" while he's still on earth. Does that make me vindictive?

I'm a law-abiding citizen even though I don't agree with some of the stupid laws. e.g., I live on a one-way street, four houses from one end. While I often see cars driving the wrong way, and even some neighbors taking the short-cut, I can't bring myself to do it, even at 11 p.m. when no other cars are in sight. I constantly see drivers going through stop signs as if they didn't exist. Not me! Why? I don't want a ticket.

Despite the way I am, I could well understand a vigilante approach to obviously evil people getting away with their evil deeds, aided and abetted by a court system. If the justice system is corrupt or doesn't do it's job, IMO they have handed over the reins to outraged citizens.

I don't advocate murder but some way of getting them to own up to their crimes.

My imagination has run amok. Time for bed.
