If that was the case the door would be kicked in-in a heartbeat!! If there had been any danger it would have been done without hesitation!

OnStar in cars offers the ability to unlock car doors remotely via satellite. That's what I was thinking about.

That stuff gives me the BIG BROTHER CREEPS! If there were a danger the door would have been down in two seconds! Since there was no danger I wanted to save the door! MCD

I believe that I have read that there is a nice chunk of change waiting for the aggrieved Mr. Schiavo if his wife dies. Either a life insurance policy or some cash in some kind of a trust.

This explains why he just won't give her over to her family for care. It has nothing to do with "compassion"- as usual, follow the money. I think that the longer the fight for Terri goes on, the harder it will be for Mr. Schiavo to conceal his true intentions.

[MSCASEY]

Sorry about the five post I only attempted two times because the thing was messing up and kept going back and forth. I even pushed stop before attempting to send it again. I hate when these programs behave badly!

Oh well at least I don't have to take the door knob off! LOL

Ever notice that Dean looks like a snarling dog when he smiles?

[Ann Archy]

They are not letting go by not feeding her...they are MURDERING her. It will take her over a WEEK to die....that's HARDLY pulling the plug and she stops breathing.

You mentioned moral relativism.......THAT is the Real "Graying of America"....the liberals don't like black and white issues....everything is just gray for them.

I was wrong. The comments I made were based on a partial reading of a few news reports. I should never have opened my mouth.

I appreciate those of you who took the time to reply to me. I will try not to do that again.

[Ann Archy]

wow...thanks.

Some of these folks aren't making a deliberate effort to disrupt. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt.

Yep, you're right. I gotta stop trying to win arguments and try harder to win believers. Thanks sweetliberty.

The article said: "I'm tired of people in the legislature thinking that they have an M.D. when what they really have is a B.S.," the Miami Herald quoted Dean as telling about 200 business and community leaders at the Capital Tiger Bay Club in Tallahassee Tuesday.

I wrote: Because Dr. Dean is not just content to tell people how to think and how to live; now he wants to determine who should live and who should die.

You responded: Dean didn't do that--Jeb Bush just did. The government did. Not many true conservatives I know are comfortable with the government determining who should live and who should die. Dean's point was that the government should not intrude into such things. He's right.

__________________________

It seems that what Dean was saying was that the legislature didn't have the knowledge or education that he did with his MD and that this made him superior to those who made the decision. A lot of conservatives are concerned that somehow food and water have before this been withheld as part of withholding extraordinary means to save someone. That's appalling, and very dangerous for what it could lead to in an aging society. Read the thread again. There are examples of people who depend on feeding tubes to survive but now lead good lives.

What happened hear is Dr. Dean again is talking down to them, criticizing their deeply felt feelings on the issue, and telling them of his superior thought process. If MDs are so superior to legislators, why isn't he practicing medicine?

Because they just NEED his inimitable brilliance, I guess. A wicked man does not become suddenly unwicked because he gets an emmdee degree.

Oh, but George Felos probably TOLD him what was going on....

That reminds me of a cartoon I have - a court scene with a person sitting in the witness chair with one leg in a cast, crutches, one arm in a cast and sling, one eye patched, a cervical collar, and his head bandaged. He looks like he's responding to an attorney. The caption says, "I never knew how bad my injuries were until I was examined by my attorney."

Harry,

I used to be wrong on many issues because of misinformation provided by the mass media. I bought a computer in 1996 (still even using it right now!), logged on to the internet, turned off the TeeVee, cancelled my subscription to the major metro newspaper, started hanging out on conservative usenet forums, discovered WorldNetDaily.com, The Federalist, and, of course, Free Republic, and have not been misinformed (at least not much) since then. If you have not already discovered and fully explored these reliable news resources, I highly commend them to you!

Emotions tend to run high on Free Republic, due the intense passion that FReepers have. Expect flaming from time to time. Also, as you appear to have done on this issue regarding Terri, pay attention to the helpful comments that people offer to help you learn more about the issue.

I commend you for taking the time to learn more about Ms. Schiavo.
