  • Did that horrible Judge Greer creature take out a life insurance policy
    on Terri Schiavo?  He seems to be as determined as Michael Schiavo
    to see her dead.

    You know what movie this imbroglio puts me in mind of?

    "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?"

    Heck, just shoot her, then.  I wasn't aware 'ere this - obviously I've been living in a fool's paradise of sorts - that it was ever
    legal to starve and thirst someone to death in this country.  It
    still doesn't compute with me . . . it's actually legal to starve someone
    to death.  Literally.  They are breathing, their heart is
    beating all by its little lonesome, there is brain activity, yet The
    Judicial Death Gods give the thumbs up to pulling the one single
    lifeline necessary . . . their feeding tube.

    Two things:

    One, this should give new meaning to the term "living will", as we all
    need to draw one up and leave it with various relatives and friends,
    specifically stating we do NOT want to starve to death, thanks all the
    same.  The fact this should even have to be spelled out is
    mind-boggling in the extreme.  Which leads me to . . .

    Two, if the LORD decides He's pretty much had it with the U.S. of A. and does a Sodom: the Sequel, it'd serve us right.  Any nation that will protect animals from starvation but not its citizens is a nation needing to have brimstone rained down on it.

    Pray for the conversion of Michael Schiavo, that the LORD turn his
    heart to Him so he'll come to his senses, divorce Terri and let her be
    cared for by her family, while he makes an honest woman of she with
    whom he's living and had a couple of kids.

    Then pray for revival here in America before the sequel starts.

  • This whole saga has me so burned up!!! I agree with you 100%. How is it that everyone but the judge and her "husband" can see that STARVING someone is completely different than say pulling a respirator? Next will we decide to just kill people that go into comas, even though they aren't on any sort of life support? Why do people fight tooth and nail against the death penalty, but then will fight for killing this woman? Too bad a judge just can't rule that their marriage is no longer valid. I mean, isn't he now legally (by common law) married to the other woman? You can't have two wives, right?

  • That would be a howl, wouldn't it?

    The idea of him being hauled up on bigamy charges is a pleasing one. Don't know if Florida has common law marriage, though...not all states do.

    It's surprised me how not everyone is aware of the true situation with Terri S. Last night I worked in Domestics with Liz, who was all in favor of the feeding tube being removed. "Well, she's a vegetable," she pointed out.

    "No," I replied, "she is NOT. She knows when her family comes in, smiling and showing pleasure, she tracks them with her eyes, she gets upset at times and cries...this is hardly behavior found in green beans and potatoes. True, she's at the level of a 6-11 mo. old baby, but again, that's not being in a vegetative state. There are videos on the internet showing her responses. Her parents have desperately tried to get the judge to let her be brought to the courtroom so he can see for himself, but he refuses to see her."

    Not that it'll make any difference, but I think I convinced Liz the reports she's been fed by most of the media (FOX being a welcome exception) are simply wrong and hideously misleading.

  • Last night on Fox News Mort Kondrakke put up a spirited argument for killing Terri, saying several times she's in a persistent vegetative state.  It's a common misconception, easily dispelled if people would just look at the many pictures of her smiling at her parents.  His wife recently died of Parkinson's.  She died naturally, but I wonder if he would have consented to starving her and then watching the process for the next two weeks.

  • I don't know whether Florida has common law marriage, but common law marriage, unfortunately, requires that the couple in question present themselves to the public as married. They don't necessary need to try to fool people, but they do need to act in such a way that they appear like a married couple for all practical purposes.

    Michael running around for the last ten years insisting that HE gets to decide whether Terri gets to eat because HE's her husband kinda puts the kibosh on that possibility.
