What do you mean by being "flamed" on the forum? I assume you mean that some "moderates" on Free Republic have attacked you unjustly for standing up for Terri.
I have been "flamed" too many times on other posts. I have even been accused of being a closet Democrat by some of the GOP regulars, who support the party on every issue!
We have done all we could, and ultimately what we have done for Terri is nothing. If there was a Nazi Germany, I sometimes feel like there is now a "Nazi Florida," and I know that epithet is unfair too.
I also learned from the Terri fight that many others are being starved to death nationwide. In my naivete, I simply was unaware of such starvation, among people of ALL AGES.
And I still say, it's all about the money!!!!
I thought that taking boxes of jello to a courthouse on September 11 was a REALLY BAD IDEA. So, I got flamed for being against free speech. Before that, the same person flamed me for lacking understanding of why there was a need to contact Jim Robinson about the jello campaign.
When I thought the jello campaign was simply a piece of paper, a parody, Jim Robinson's need to know is not on the radar screen. When actual boxes of powdery stuff is taken to a courthouse on September 11th, Jim Robinson should know.
The Jello boxes are now on hold. I think that's a great move.
I'm going to keep praying for Terri and her right to live under the Constitution of the United States. I only walked away from jello, not Terri.
