Yesterday I heard Nat Hentoff said Felos was being helped by the ACLU...

Nat is an old-time liberal, and one of the few left I hold in high regard.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for your hard work.

Governor Bush's FAX line is 850-921-9077. I've got another fax (and I sent an email this morning that will be followed by a fax).

What happened to the American Spirit of 9-11??

We cheered for those who survived and cried with those who lost loved ones.

Yet, today, we are cheering for those who starve and dehydrate and discounting those who cry and beg for the life of their loved one.

Something is wrong in America. America's heart no longer beats free. America is dying from the heart out.

Thanks for those numbers, and

Something is wrong in America. America's heart no longer beats free. America is dying from the heart out.

I fear you are right. I grieve for lost America- we used to be better.

Knock off the personal attacks.

Yes, it's all a premeditated conspiracy. "THEY" have all been out to kill her for years. Kook.

I didn't mention a "they" (other than the Schindlers). I said an army, which means alot of people, which is true. There are alot of people in the right-to-die/quality-of-life camp who have alot at stake in this case. I didn't say conspiracy either, although it does seem that you have a paranoia about those whom you term "kooks". Ad hominem attacks won't win you any arguments.

I know it doesn't fit into a lot of people's conspiracy theories as well as their own personal agendas, but did you ever wonder if she really did not want to live like this? Does that thought ever cross your mind, or does propping up a brain dead woman [proved time and time again] to be your personal sock-and-puppet show to push your agenda onto others and that mercy may never be given by a spouse who honored her wishes?

I don't know whether or not she wanted to live like this or not, and neither do you. I prefer not to starve people whose wishes I am not sure of. She's not brain dead, she's not even in a coma. Get your facts straight. The only care being given her is food and water, what we all need to survive. That is not extraordinary care.
I'm not looking to push an agenda on anyone, I'm not looking to push death on anyone either. "Mercy"? Mercy is love and care, not killing someone to put them out of our misery. The right-to-die folks would argue she's a vegetable and feels nothing. Well if she feels nothing, what are you sparing her from?

Nobody has proved any law has been broken. Many ignorant television viewers have tried in dozens of worthless vanity posts after seeing an episode of 'LA Law'.

As to the law, suicide and assisted suicide are against the law. But under the guise of "mercy" and the direction of a guardian for someone who can't speak for themselves, it's OK to starve someone. And those who would argue about states rights and court orders need only look to the case of Elian Gonzales to see that is ignored when it suits an agenda.

Many of these same people, you included, believe there is some sort of conspiracy going on. Yes! That must be it! In no way could it be her wishes being carried out.

Again, I don't know where you get the idea I think there is a "conspiracy".

What are you going to do when you realize that your agenda\conspiracy puppet is gone? Who will you exploit then?

When those of us who believe in the sanctity of life, in humanity, decency, constitutional rights, compassion and loving thy neighbor, of caring for those unable to speak for themselves, when we are gone, what will you do?

FOCUS: Bigotry and the Murder of Terri Schiavo (by survivor of attempted euthanasia)

Thanks for your hard work, Heavy Equipment Guy.
I have to bookmark this and come back to it later, when I have more strength of spirit.

[youngtory]

Good point. It's not enough to say that I feel your pain and then fail to use the executive order. Right now Ralph Nader is speaking out for Terri. It will bite Jeb in the end if he tries to run for president should he fail to use his executive powers.

Thanks for looking. I know what you mean by "more strength of spirit"-- this has been a taxing issue from many angles. I had to disconnect my first wife from life support after a stroke got her, although in her case there was no question her brain was gone. And she had specifically told me to do this in such a case. Besides that, she was handicapped-- c-5 quadiplegic... one level higher of break, and she could not have breathed on her own. Even so, we had eight good and happy years together. There's more to life than being fully able-bodied, contrary to what some people think.

So this subject digs its claws in at several levels. But I do know this- we are witnessing the forced killing, under color of law, of an inconvienient person, and this is an abomination.

Thanks for stopping by, Friend from Free Dominion.

There are those who don't want people to see the difference between letting someone go and forcing them to die because they are inconvenient.

This affair is a threshold moment.

Not Dead Yet!

Bumping and bookmarked; great job, backhoe.

"Yesterday I heard Nat Hentoff said Felos was being helped by the ACLU..."

ACLU? It is any surprise the ACLU is yet again involved in making a mockery of our system Justice. I can't think of any organization more vile the the ACLU.

[backhoe]

Thanks!

[backhoe]

Thanks!
