The only issue that David Gibbs can ever remember Jesse Jackson and Rush Limbaugh agreeing on was the fact that Terri Schiavo should remain alive.
...
Gibbs called removing Schiavo's feeding tube "barbaric and uncivilized." Florida law does not allow the starvation of animals and the constitution does not allow the starvation of convicted murderers, he said.
...
Felos said faith-based organizations, religious leaders, priests and rabbis distorted the facts in the Schiavo case.

Scott's family thanks June Maxam for putting his fight in the spotlight.
Others did that in abundance for Terri, some perhaps more frequently and fervantly to make up for his glaring absence.
How does BINO sound?

Will you add me to a Terri ping list (if that's what this is...) ?
Don't Catholics pray rosaries for just about any significant issue? To have Terri excepted sounds, well, macabre.
I will explain in my own case. At church I lead the Rosary before Mass begins. Others join in. Otherwise, I try to say the Rosary as often as I can or remember to do so. On my drive to Pinellas Park, over and over I prayed the Rosary with intentions for Terri and for my family and church, as often as I could. On the scene there I focussed my intentions on Terri and recited the Rosary over and over and where possible enlisted others to join in. We Catholics regard the Rosary as a powerful prayer and sought the benefit of Terri in the protection and arms of Our Lord.
It may sound unusual to non-Catholics, but comes naturally to us. I know years ago when I was a Presbyterian, it would have sounded odd to me. At Pinellas Park, a Presbyterial Minister would watch us and engage us in conversations on that same thing. Gradually, he came to accept if not completely understand and we became good friends.

Done, with pleasure.

It doesn't make sense to me either. Some people have no conscience apparently. There are several things that I won't do for money. Murder is one of them.
Thank you, both.
