he problem is that we elected people who both wrote and interpreted the law that was used to allow this to happen. As long as we can blame "the law" we are missing the point and not asking the right questions to correct this problem. We are as illogical as people who blame a gun for a shooting.

The law is written by legislators, and legislators are elected by the citizenry. Ultimately, responsibility lies with us, the people. Current law in Florida clearly permits cases like Terri Schiavo to occur. To change this, legislators need to fix the law. If they won't then the legislators themselves need to be changed.

Bingo.

I had no idea, my fault maybe, that Judge Greer was elected. What there any sort of campaign to get him off the bench? We had at least three years to do something about this. We did nothing until the last minute when we did try but far to late.
