I don't know about anyone else, but I am still waiting for Michael Schiavo to make a correction on his blog about what "actually" took place in Colorado when he went there (to the debate) to supposedly ask Congresswoman Musgrave one question and she and her staff supposedly tried to have him removed. He called it, "My unreal night in Colorado - with radio link" (Thu Oct 26, 2006 at 08:05:14 PM PST). I'll say (from what I read) that it was his "unreal night".
As I said before in "Standing up and Admitting a Mistake: Not Schiavo's Style?", if four uniformed officers were around my seat, I would have some idea of what was going on. I certainly wouldn't be sitting in "duh mode" to only be told later of what took place right there around me, as Michael suggests he was. If Michael's account is realistic -- his response and reaction is not. Nor is his response appropriate now that he has "learned" what he was "allegedly told" is not what took place. One would think if he can't get the words out that he was mistaken, he could at least have removed the inaccurate entry from his blog.
He has done neither.
I'm also still waiting to read about, "Also, maybe tomorrow I'll post about my election-eve rally with Bill Clinton in Florida." (A real election impact by Michael Schiavo, Thu Nov 09, 2006 at 10:40:34 AM PST). Indeed, I would love to read that story by Michael, since I read it was not possible. Not if he was implying it was the Bill Clinton that is the former President of the United States. Will be interesting to see what he says about that if he ever does.
If Michael couldn't get it straight what happened at the Musgrave debate or even if he spent election-eve with former President Bill Clinton -- do you suppose he might have gotten Terri Schiavo's wishes mixed-up as well? (He does claim to have a bad memory from what I read.) Makes one wonder. At least makes me wonder. Whatever...
I'm still waiting for the corrections if not the explanations!
Carrie Hutchens is a former law enforcement officer and a freelance writer who is active in fighting against the death culture movement and the injustices within the judicial and law enforcement systems.
Tell this writer to grow a brain.
He already has a brain but he is wearing it backwards.
And on the wrong end. He uses it as a seat cushion.
I don't know if the bureaucrats will be able to tattoo vegetables and grains and the like, and steal the rest our food. It will be a challenge. But in some nameless bureau, they're working on it.
In France a decade ago, we were actually grandfathered to be able to raise a pig for our own consumption. But even then, little Porkchop arrived with his government tattoo. We were still free to raise chickens. But our farmer friends also had to account for the grape vines in their little plot of a vinyard. They had no control over what they could grow in the fields or what toxic chemicals to spray on the already sterile soil. They were just looking for the day to retire from their "job" and go live in a retirement community and await out processing by the Felos crowds. Something to look forward to, huh?

BTW, Jeb Bush was denied honor by the U. of Florida (thread here on FR). I haven't read it yet, but I doubt it was because of his failure to save Terri or his rants in support of illegal aliens.
One of the grandfathers of the conservative movement in England was a man who came home after the war and systematically searched through bureaucratic regulations for a loophole. He was well aware of how socialism strangles enterprise, so he was looking for a business that the bureaucrats hadn't already regulated to death. He found one in the chicken-raising business, and at once went into that business. And made a fortune! He has passed on now, as has his wife (an American, and about the classiest lady I've ever met). But his money is still at work supporting freedom of enterprise -- both in England and here -- in an economics-oriented 501(c)3.
Indeed so, but if he was proven to have caused Terri's initial collapse, I think his later actions could be easily shown to be a murderous coverup.
Maybe so! Man, this one strains legal theory, though, doesn't it? The first try was sort of an accident, then at the end it was mercy killing....... But let's look deeper.
If my theory of Terri's injuries is right, and if Carla Iyer's observations are correct that he tried to kill her with insulin as many as five times, plus we all know about the time in 1993 he tried to withhold life-saving medicine -- that is up to seven covert efforts to kill her. Then we had four open and legal efforts to kill her with court permission.
Eleven attempts at her murder!
I think the question of premeditation is pretty well solved :-)
I would think that if it could be proven that his claims about Terri's "wishes" were a fraud upon the court, that would prevent him from using any resulting rulings as justification for starving her to death.
Certainly any murder prosecution would end up being dominated by arguments about what a jury could or could not be told, and the resulting verdict would depend more upon what information was withheld and upon the jury instructions than upon any real facts of the case. To my mind, the proper question for a jury would be whether it was plausible that Michael's efforts to have his wife dehydrated were at least 51% predicated upon a bona fide desire to carry out her wishes, rather than upon craven motives including, but not limited to, the concealment of evidence, the acquisition of her trust fund, revenge upon her parents, etc. Nearly all of Michael's actions should be fair game in ascertaining that.
Incidentally, my use of first names for some people (e.g. "Michael", "Terri") and last names for others (e.g. "Felos") is predicated not upon familiarity, but upon a desire for brevity without ambiguity. There are multiple people in this saga named Schiavo, and multiple people named George, but there is only one each of "Michael", "Terri", or "Felos".
Maybe even 12. As in 1993, the law about withholding life saving drugs never changed. Just because they straved and dehydrated her doesn't mean that they can ingnore life threating infections. The question is, who ordered that Terri not be treated with antibiotics?

Pariente is second woman named Florida chief justice
By Times Staff Writer
Published September 24, 2004
Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara J. Pariente, who wrote Thursday's unanimous opinion overturning the law that kept Terri Schiavo alive, is just the second woman to serve in that role.
"At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you took me in.’" -- Mother Teresa
Interesting discussion over here about eugenics. Some of the usual suspects are already there, and they're upset that some high school students were told the truth for a change. But they're happy the teacher was fired for it. They haven't disputed the truth of any of it. How could they? It's all documented facts. They just don't feel the students should be allowed to know.
Sisters High School biology teacher fired [Nazi/Planned Parenthood Powerpoint Made Public] ~ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1806355/posts
That's straight out of the liberal rulebook. Liberals believe there are two sides to every question -- theirs and one that should be brutally suppressed.
Kris Helphinstine, a part-time biology teacher at Sisters High School was fired by the school board Monday night for deviating from the curriculum on the theory of evolution after only eight days on the job, four of which were spent teaching his own theories of evolution through a PowerPoint presentation that referenced Nazi Germany and Planned Parenthood.
