I think this boycott idea is wonderful, but knowing the people of FL and the USA I doubt that it will be any more successful than was the 1990s boycott of Disney by the Southern Baptist Convention. Even Southern Baptists continued to feed money into the Disney machines in Orlando and Anaheim. Just the threat of a boycott might move the legislature, but I fear that George W. Greer's 65 percent majority on Aug. 31 means that nothing will be done to stop Terri's murder.

None of the avenues to help Terri look all that promising. Would you rather we take an even less promising route and DO NOTHING?

Yes, it might fail, but the only certain way to insure failure is to not try it. It might also succeed, and the only way to find out is to try it. Terri's murder is not a certainty. Until and unless it is, all legal means of influencing those who have the power to prevent it are worth pursuing. Never know which one might work.
