To: Ohioan from Florida
I get that from so many people. They didn't think too much into this until they saw her for their own eyes. Then, they flipped their noodles. I've received so many emails stating "what in the hell is wrong with you people in Florida!!?"

What they don't seem to see is that Florida and Terri are the test cases. This is coming to a hospital near you if this goes down. Believe me when I tell you that the people of Florida have legitimate concerns over this. More than 40% of them are of retirement age. Would you want this hanging over your head in the years that were supposed to be fun and worry-free?

Yes, people are blind to this. I will give you that. But, when they see the videos of Terri, they come round fast. They see what's going down. It should horrify each and every one of us.

Bottom line, kids: We don't execute people because we might be personally inconvenieced by them one day.

To: phenn; Theodore R.; All
IF I were a betting man, I would bet that Jeb Bush DOES NOT intervene on Terri's behalf.

I HOPE AND PRAY THAT I AM WRONG ABOUT THIS!

I am not sure exactly what he can do (if anything) if the higher courts do not intervene, but, I recall the actions of a certain governor who reversed court decisions of dozens if not a hundred or more convicted felons on death row, not that long ago.

I hope Jeb goes above and beyond the call of duty to help Terri and the Schindler family. The simple fact that he has waited so long to act (letter to Greer) does not leave me encouraged that he will.
