"Anything we can think of to help Simplemines? Post# 3,094."

We can do the usual. The only thing that's ever worked -- barring a Greer in the works -- is public embarrassment and humiliation, or the threat of it. The media machine can be cranked into high gear if we yank it's chain the right way. We need specifics: names of patient, doctors, hospitals, etc. Does anyone have them?

"Dr. XXXXXX refused our request for an interview and is not returning our calls" is amazingly effective...Þ

Kristin Schmidt was "concerned"? That's liberal coverup lingo. She's attended the school of bubba, feel your pain seminar.

Why hasn't the NURSE AND REST BEEN BOOKED YET?

What is Florida waiting for? There is no plausible explanation except that it's Florida, where children, husbands, wives and parents are all abused equally while in state custody.

To the death...

[floriduh voter]

what up with Mikey blogging? Didn't he get what he wanted? Terri's deceased. If that's what he wanted, why is he mad at anyone??? Why is he mad at the president? Terri's gone. She wasn't rescued. Maybe Howard Dean paid Mikey to blame Bush. I blame Bush too but because he's supposed to protect all the people and he couldn't even save one woman.

A committee member is NOW the thought police? How do they know what the capacity is of the person to make a decision? Can they read minds like feloser?

BOOT CAMP DEATH ARCHIVES (no arrests to date even though Martin died on January 6, 2006):

FV says: another Florida coverup is well underway.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Mr. Smarty pants had better learn the rules on running a PAC. Isn't he supposedly in trouble for not filing papers? Vegas is close to me, about 3 hours. Tempting, but I've just started feeling better, and don't need additional stress.

Yeah Mikey, I've got a round table and a daily Kos for you : (

[Wampus SC]

re: Mikey and Kos - WTH is a "kos"? They've given him a special section called "Michael Schiavo's Diary". He must be a regular writer there, FWIW. WHat he's doing is the completely self-centered, infantile whining of someone who just can't take it that not everyone has worshiped him yet. Or, maybe it's some kind of therapy to keep his conscience from appearing.

re: Fearless Leader: "It's not just about Terri re: his ratings but largely, that was when Bush's numbers started dropping, right after Terri's wrongful, malicious, felonious death."

Yes, that's the timing of when the slide started, right after he could have saved Terri but didn't. You're right that there are so many other issues he's been wrong on. Whether it's spending at a level that would embarrass Walter Mondale; Katrina; Medicare D; ports; military parts plants sold to Dubai; CAFTA and FTAA; mercenaries given LEO powers; torture as policy; secret prisons; secret rendition/torture flights flown by mercenaries; immigration; warrantless wiretapping and constant surveillance of everything; KBR camps -- the list goes on. Never have so many different groups of people been alienated in so many different ways.

"And, we are not alone. I won't be fooled again. Boy genius isn't such a genius after all. I'd like to sue him for his mishandling of this administration but he's probably got boy genius-munity."

Yeah. Won't Get Fooled Again. I have that song on a continuous loop cassette in the truck these days. I play it right after I hear the news of what the administration's done today.

"A committee member is NOW the thought police? How do they know what the capacity is of the person to make a decision? Can they read minds like feloser?"

You got it. But they don't need to know if they have the power to kill whenever they feel like it.

A few weeks ago the question was posed about what we'll do when the day comes when the death culture can drop all their pretenses and say, "Yes, we're evil SOB's, but we've got the power. What are you gonna do about it?" If this bill passes that day will be here. What will we do about it?

Just thought I'd restate the thought question for long range planning...

[TheSpottedOwl]

Yes, a week ago today. But she died peacefully with her family at her side -- not by having the "ethics" committee unplug her respirator. She died naturally. That made all the difference to her family, to us, to herself.

Well, it was her time. I've been kind of stuck on certain topics, and have neglected the Terri dailies. Even though the Lord called Andrea home, her family must still be hurting.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Even though your family members went out when they should have, it must still hurt. You have my best wishes and condolences, Wampus.

Praise the Lord, I was able to give my Mom the "gift" of a natural death.

>> She's attended the school of bubba

"I can tell you generically that under federal regulations all deaths or imminent deaths are required to be reported to the organ bank," he said.

Is this true? If we have this so-called Constitutional right to privacy that allows doctors to kill us without our permission, isn't there also a Constitutional right to privacy that prevents them from advertising our body parts?

McCulloch couldn't provide more information on the boy's injuries because of privacy laws.

Privacy laws? See above.

But he said that generally when a patient is declared brain dead, only hospital equipment is keeping the person's heart and lungs functioning.

Generally? Does that mean that sometimes a patient who is very much alive, without the aid of machines, is declared brain dead? They can't stop the heart and lungs by removing the machines, if there aren't any machines. So what do they do with the body? Do they bury it while it's still functioning? Do they chop it up for parts while it's still functioning?

[T'wit]

>> Generally? Does that mean that sometimes a patient who is very much alive, without the aid of machines, is declared brain dead?

Yes. And yes they do chop him up for parts. And, finally, yes, this is at odds with the medical definition of brain death, which is complete cessation of brain activity, including the brain stem. The patient therefore cannot breathe on his own, i.e., without life support. For all the uproar, Karen Ann Quinlan was not brain dead.

They almost got Haleigh Poutre this way and she was not even "PVS." "Almost" PVS, they said.

[BykrBayb]

Haleigh is almost PVS like I am almost the queen of England.

"It certainly has. It's also made public and somewhat vindicated ideas that we've been discussing on these threads for a long time. 1) That that the living wills and advance directives the death culture has been pushing mean nothing. They don't mean a thing when an ethics committee can override them and kill whenever they feel like it. 2.) That the health insurance industry plays a big part in this. Maybe the major part."

I cringe everytime I hear the word bio"ethics."

The reason the pro-death crowd want us to have so-called living wills, is so that if we unwisely put something in the will that will kill us, it will be easier for them to do so.

However, if we choose life for ourselves thoughout the will, they will override it with a bio"ethics" committee, whenever they can.

If I did get an advanced directive, I would download the "Will to Live" which is at www.nrlc.org

[Sun]

Michael's revenge is going to eat him alive. He can't let it go. Revenge was one of his motives for killing Terri.

The blog says that other pro-death people post on that blog, like Ted Kennedy. NO SURPRISE.

Not one bit far fetched. They already had/have the power to kill over 46 million preborn innocent babies.

Welcome back. May God grant you comfort.

Thanks for the addition to my tagline.

Jeb Bush pauses at the next political step

Nationally, his reputation was colored by his push last year to keep a brain dead woman on life support over the objections of her husband. Polls showed that the broader public objected to Bush's actions to keep Terri Schiavo alive. But his moves endeared him all the more to Christian conservatives.

The original story said she was brain damaged. Bradenton Herald changed it to "brain dead." Apparently there weren't already enough lies to satisfy them. Funny, there were enough lies to satisfy LA Times.
