The National Enquire has broken some stories, however, like I said we don't need them. The Media is getting it, figureing out what we ahve been telling them.

I for one am not going to endorse putting the kids in the fray.

We don't need to know about the kids for this story to stand on it's merrits. The kids are innocent, they do not need to have their faces put on a grocery store tabloid.

We do not need to drag them into this fight. This is not a right to die case, it is a right to kill case. That has nothing to do with innocent children, no matter who the parents are.

The media already know about the kids, but they also know those children are not part of this story, and hurting children will neither make our case stronger or help Terri and her parents in their fight, or us in ours..

We are better than the NE smearing photos of helpless kids all over the place to stir up emotions.

Below is my reply
I am not endorsing smearing children, however they ARE part of this story. They and his girlfriend are the hard evidence the MS has emotionally quit being Terri's wife. That does not mean that their photo's have to be published.

I think it wouold make a telling photograph to show them walking together, perhaps with the camera taking a photo of their backs. A "family" of 4 is what they are, which means that terri & MS are no longer a "family" of 2. A photo, and they can be tastefully done like I said the 4 of them out walking togehter taken of their backs would be very powerful to all those people who are voting in those on line surveys and we the "don't kill her group"are barely holding even at 50%. A photograph "is" journalism and conveys a message, many time more than the written word.

Look I don't have any pictures to send in ok, but I am also not opposed to it, done properly.
