A nagging sense of injustice [Schiavo]

I'm just curious. Does the mainstream media ever show photos taken of Terri before she was brain damaged?

I was surfing around google looking at mainstream news stories the other night and kept finding pictures of Terri in her bed gaping and with a blank stare.
I wasn't even able to find the photo I see here all the time of her smiling at her mother. And, I certainly didn't see any photos of her like the ones you just posted.

If all people are seeing is photos of her truly looking like "the lights aren't on and nobody's home" it's no wonder people have been so easily led to believe she's PVS
or even comatose.

I don't watch TV or anything like that. I get my news from the net. So I don't know what the MSM is bombarding people with.
I have heard they are going out of their way to dehumanize Terri, though. That's why I was wondering if they were showing any pictures of her before she was brain damaged
or any photos taken afterwards with her smiling.

Here's the pictures I was talking about, BTW:

Australians don't have a chance to even find 'it' complicated. The TV news speak of Terri as 'the brain-dead woman' whose husband is fighting for her right to die.

Not just the Brits, but most people in the world can see it for what it truly is ...

Post them often. The MSM has an agenda. It will create faux fax
and delete important photos -- as you point out.

George Orwell had some comments about this:

"Those who control the past, control the future;
Those who control the future, control the present;
Those who control the present, control the past."



Judgenfuhrer Greer, his lawyers and ilk, and the MSM know this.
Orwell could not have dreamed about how corrupt the MSM is.

Nice to hear sanity from across the pond on this Easter Monday.

You do not, I say again, have to believe that God plays any part in the affairs of Man to see that something big has been forgotten in this case.

As an atheist, I must say that I agree with the thoughts expressed by Mr. Gove in his powerful article. His citing Aristotle and Aquinas point to there being a broader argument than mere religiosity in defense of the choice of life.

All humanity must mourn this injustice.

According to Felos, they're playing music in Terri's room, as they kill her

Oh, that's rich.

After denying Terri music, television, or radio playing in her room for ten years, they now "allow" Terri music as they "allow" her to die.

Yep, says a lot when we have to be taught morality by europeans, but there it is.

I know the USSC would not actually make a decision on this, but I can not even begin to tell you how disappointed I am that they didn't even request the lower courts to perform the de novo review as requested by congress.

The fact that they failed to do that, all the way along the line, proves that we have a justice system that is totally out of control.

It is long past time for congress to take a look at the federal judiciary. The massive shifts in population to the west and south means that the 9th circuit is totally inadequate to serve the people. It needs to be seriously broken up into at least 3 additional courts. The courts have ALL become to far removed from the people of this country.

Congress needs to find an adequate way to make the courts understand that they are a co-equal branch, not a superior branch. They can do this by exercising their power of the purse.

Excellent article.

I have felt right along that too much emphasis has been placed on the Schindler family's Catholic beliefs, when the case is much better made on medical and humanitarian grounds.

I DO believe their religious freedom has been trodden upon, and as a Christian I empathise, but unfortunately much of America is prejudiced against religious people.

I'm proud to announce the formation of 'the Justice for Terri Committee' today in Pinellas Park, Florida.

The JFTC is dedicated to a full investigation of Terri's case, exposure of, and appropriate prosecution of, all who were responsible for the events that resulted in her brutal torture and death, the impeachment of George Greer, and bringing about appropriate legal and judicial reform in Florida and nationally to insure that no American citizen must face the horrors Terri was forced to endure ever again.

Many more details will be forthcoming in the next few days for those who share our goals and want to help.
