I could not copy the direct link. Everyone will have to find McLaughlin Group and vote. Or maybe someone else can type in the link. I couldn't figure out how to do so.

Just a FYI to any newbies or any of us "oldies" that maybe never realized this, but at the bottom of each post is a menu bar that says Post Reply | Private Reply |To (some number) | View Replys | Report Abuse. The To (some number) is the post that is being replied to, and if you click on it, it will take you back to that post so that you can read it, then if you click the "back" arrow on your browser, it will take you right back to where you left off in the thread. Just thought this might be helpful to some people.

Where were you when I first got on FR? LOL

Is the poll changing in the right direction yet?

[JustPiper]

Since individual desires and needs are so diverse, even on this forum, it would probably be best to begin a thread with all the various options that are available and have posters comment from there.

When your ready Chime, would you please do it, I think it would be greatly appreciated?!

Yes___________________________________73%

No_______27%

Figures. Life is more valuable the less there is left of it to live. A good reason why youngsters should listen to their elders.

[Aliska]

If I'm not mistaken (but I could be), Jodi's Michael Schiavo is Michael R. Schiavo, not Michael A. Therefore, any of the docs with Michael A. which include Dominic are talking about a different Michael Schiavo. Poor guy probably gets a lot of hate mail, wouldn't you think?

[Lion in Winter]

It is 50% to 50% now.

Has this latest thread been linked here yet?

Schiavo lawyer: New Age mystic

[Randjuke]

It's a dangerous abuse of power alright, but it isn't the lawmakers and the governor who are abusing it.

I am coming to the thread very late but have been following this story since long before it became well-known. While I sympathize with Terri's parents I do not welcome the entrance of government into this. This decision should be left to patient's families in consultation with physicians, not to politicians with agendas on both sides. Maybe the right decision will be made this time, but other times will come and the government will eventually screw it up.

The same thing was said of starving deformed and handicapped infants 20 years ago. In China? No, in the USA.

"Our" Michael Schiavo's middle name is Richard. This record is for Michael A. Schiavo. I don't think Dominic Schiavo has any connection. Just want to make sure we don't go too far afield in our searches.
