The real braindead person was Greer -- either that, or he is the most evil. because he was supposed to be impartial and he ordered the execution by brutal means of an innocent person.

Can you imagine, if we would do that to the terrorist prisoners?

There was a story on the local (Oklahoma City) television news about a fellow who had severe brain damage like Terri's, the result of a bad motorcycle accident. It was a year and a half ago, and despite the doctors' attempts to have his "plug pulled", the family brought him home, gave him therapy, and you should see the huge steps forward this man has made! He is actually printing his name--this after only a year and a half of therapy. He is not back to "normal" and he might never be. But he is alive, functioning, and hasn't been starved and dehydrated to death.

The whole story has been posted here, and if you follow the link in the story, there is a video of the news story we saw. It is both optimistic (as far as this man is concerned) and heartbreaking (as far as Terri is concerned).

"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today." Tom Delay.

Someone pinch me, I'm having a bad dream and can't wake up! In my dream, an innocent handicapped woman was sentenced to death by starvation, as each day passed the men with the power to save her all said they would do something tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. For 13 days this woman suffered publicly, while her family pleaded for her life, for the government to spare her from this cruel death sentence. Their cries went on deaf ears and others just simply turned their back and said there is nothing more I can do, it's the law and we can't go against the law.
The whole world watched day by day, as this innocent woman who had been locked in a room, without so much as having her teeth cleaned for 5 years, was cruelly being starved to death, per order of The United States of America. This order came not from her husband or his lawyer, but from the government itself. In one fell swoop, the government now decides who lives or dies, innocent or guilty no longer matters. The government now decides who is worthy of life and who is not.
"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today." or tomorrow or the next. It will never come, at least on this earth, because just in recent history those responsible for the most heinous crimes against the public have not been held accountable, but lauded as heroes and promoted to higher positions within our own government. We all know it and yet as a public, we still vote into office these same self serving men and woman. Have we not learned to judge a man by his actions or lack of actions, rather than what he says. Just as President Bush said after the death of this innocent woman, "the strong have a duty to protect the weak" almost made me vomit! He, the most powerful man on the face of the earth, did nothing to stop this public execution. I am no longer blinded by his words and see him for the first time, for what he is. May God have mercy on us all, because we all bear a responsibity to this woman’s death.
