Your "facts" about what a swell Boy Scout your pal Michael is are no more credible than the article poster's "facts" about what a horrible person your Pal Micheal is.
??? I've never claimed Michael was a saint; only the fact as one who has gone through three years of my wife's suffering from cancer before dying - I understand and credit him for what he's done.
My condolences to you for the death of your wife. That has to be incredibly painful to go through. I must say that the difference between Terri's situation and your late wife's situation is that your wife was dying of cancer, while Terri is "inconveniently' not dying. You were a faithful husband until you were parted by her death; Michael is not.
Being a faithful husband "for many years" doesn't cut it. Neither does having "the sense to move on, find another and raise a family" while he is still married to Terri. As evidence, I submit his own words in sworn testimony:
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT IN AND FOR PINELLAS COUNTY, FLORIDA CASE NO. 92-939-15
EXCERPT OF JURY TRIAL - TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL RICHARD SCHIAVO
(November 5, 1992)

Yes, I would, in a heartbeat. Q. How do you feel about being married to Terry now? A. I feel wonderful. She's my life and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I believe in my -- I believe in my wedding vows. Q. What do you mean? You want to take a minute? A. Yeah. MR. WOODWORTH: If the Court would let us take a minute. Q. (BY MR. WOODWORTH:) You okay? A. Yeah. I'm sorry. Q. Have -- you said you believe in your wedding vows, what do you mean by that? A. I believe in the vows that I took with my wife, page 28 through sickness, in health, for richer or poorer. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that. http://journals.aol.com/justice1949/JUSTICEFORTERRISCHIAVO/entries/323
His sworn testimony means about as much as his wedding vows.
Cordially,
