  • Oh my.  An agenda?  You think?

    This shapes up like one of the "cast of characters" in an Agatha Christie murder mystery:

    George Felos is the attorney
    for Michael Schiavo, and a founding member of the National Legal
    Advisors Committee on Choice in Dying, not to mention having served as
    chairman of the board of The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast. 
    BTW, that is the same board which oversees Woodside Hospice, the one
    acting as Terri Schiavo's death chamber.  Also on the board of the
    Hospice of the Florida Suncoast is Barbara Sheen Todd,  a county
    commissioner who has worked closely with another county commissioner . . .

    George Greer, the Pinellas
    county judge who is unalterably, implacably determined to see Terri
    Schiavo dead.  Another Pinellas county judge is John Lenderman,
    whose sister, Martha Lenderman, sits on the board of Hospice of the
    Florida Suncoast, which oversees Woodside Hospice, the director of
    which is . . .

    Mary Labyak, who has been the secretary/treasurer and board member of Partnership of Caring, a pro-euthanasia organization. 

    Anyone notice a pattern here?

    Of course, the question intrudes, what the deuce is Terri Schiavo doing in a hospice anyway? 
    She wasn't dying when she was admitted to it, yet hospices are, by
    definition, places where terminally ill people go to die.

    Heck of a place, Woodside Hospice; wonder what its slogan is. 
    Perhaps:  "If you aren't dying when you arrive, we can take of that for you"?
