Terri Schindler Schiavo, NOT in a coma, NOT pvs:

Dear Terri -- Wanted to let you and your family know we are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. We are looking forward to the time when you gain your freedom -- free to go to the beach as you used to love to do, free to enjoy pets once again, to go out to get fixed up as in the above photo taken in about '91 or '92. That photo shows that you are NOT in a coma, have not been for all these years.

We keep you in our prayers all the time, tell our friends and strangers about you, send emails and letters, and awaken in the middle of the night wondering what more can be done for you. . .

May any person who is any part of planning evil against you be ashamed and turn from his part in this. I pray for God to move in that person's life in some way to soften his heart. Man can do nothing, but through God ALL things are possible.

May any and all who are in any position to help you do whatever they see to do.

For the past decade the media has been allowed to portray Terri as "comatose" or "in a coma".

In fact, here's a CNN story from August 2003:

Judge: Comatose woman must be treated

Tuesday, August 26, 2003 MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- A woman who has been ruled to be in a persistent vegetative state and is fed through a tube . . .

Their URL is http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/08/26/comatose.woman/; that's also their designation for the accompanying picture.

The stupid thing is, this is the picture they used:

The related stories have titles "Judge allows comatose woman to die" and "Ruling ends feeding of comatose woman"; the email alerts are for Terri Schiavo, coma, and comatose.

Gee, d'ya think they have an agenda??
