Your are right about that......
What we try to do on FR is argue issues with as much verbal skill and evidence as we can find on both sides.
The reality of this issue is that I have only found one person who was willing to have an exchange without insult and flames.
The reality is, that other than the court decisions there is no evidence presented on the internet media for the Michael side of this argument.
It tells me that this is a manipulated media war instituted by the girls family and that the evidence needed to justify the son in laws position is being withheld due to legal privacy concerns and lawyers advice. The fact is, that the judge knows, the medical case workers know, yet all have made their decision and are silent in the matter, with the exception of a raft of people who have sided with the family yet have no direct connection to the case.
The major media has also looked into this and they too, are not taking a position, (that I can find) nor have they found a printable story to use without the risk of being sued for printing untruths. Their stories are generic. The internet stories are one sided. And no stories exist from the Michael side.
You're right, I think it is time to get off. This is and was a family matter. It should have remained so and I have no business in it.
The courts should never be deciding these issues. Never!

Well put. I worked in a nursing home for 2 years as a physical therapist, close to 6 years in a university hospital. We're only hearing the parents' version of the story. The videos aren't convincing to me at all. There are a lot of holes in the parents' stories - in particular that Terri was denied therapy. Yet the story from this thread would certainly imply she was receiving it as late as 1996. The whole bit of "therapy denial" doesn't fit the smell test. The longer the patient has been vegetative, the less likely they are to benefit. Past the three-year mark, paying for therapists (when the so-called therapy is no more skilled than what could be provided by a family member) is throwing money down a rathole. I would like some of those screaming "starvation" to explain to me how pulling a feeding tube is different than pulling a breathing tube. One provides air, one provides food, both are "artificial
Are you blind???
Other than WorldNetDaily, a small handfull of other conservative sites, and a few fora such as FR, the totality of the web-carried news media is entirely pro-Michael.

And that statement tells me that you are blind -- or, on a mission.
