I had no idea how corrupt FL was until the Terri starvation/dehydration order came twice from a "Republican" and "Baptist" judge. I thought that the 2000 vote dispute was just an unlikely outcome of a close election. It seems now that there is more skullduggery in FL than in most other places. Does this state still have the highest rate of violent crime? It is clearly a state where a civil judge alone can give one a death sentence and nothing can be done because the "trial judge" never errs! I don't think the people of FL have a clue! We already know that certain ones on the Atlantic coast can't use a simple butterfly ballot successfully.

One thing you have to realize is that this "hospice" was a very important, socially prominent charity for anybody who was anybody in that part of Florida. Granted, these folks may be nobody outside of Pinellas Park, but among folks who consider themselves modern, progressive, "non-Cracker" Floridians, Felos' "hospice" was the place to see and be seen.

Gimme a good ol' Cracker any day.

I live in North Florida, but unfortunately in the only non-Cracker county in this part of the state - Alachua County, the home of the University of Florida. So I have to tolerate the ravings of the Gainesville Sun, a NYTimes paper, urging that Terri Schiavo be exterminated right now, on the double. Le toute Pinellas Park would agree.
