Although I still hold well placed confidence in humankind, your words are well placed and are food for thought.
Now in Europe they are actually discussing the lack of suffering of a fully born baby and in certain cases when it is determined by "specialists" that their life may not be long or fruitful, euthanasia should be a consideration for the baby's best interests of course. After all, it would be painless.....
Point being, you KNOW what this Terri Shiavo debacle is going to lead to.
It's not going to help the respect for human life to prosper that's for sure.
And to think terrorists, murderers, and pedophiles, and for all that matters, whales, chipmunks, and the like enjoy a greater concern for their well being than Terri to some!
Sorry for my going on but I am frustrated with this and can see where it could lead us.
Is that something like "This Bud's...for you"?
THIS IS THE MOST SICK TWISTED THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!
Excerpts from 'Litigation as Spiritual Practice' by George Felos.
"Felos visits Mrs. Browning for the first time. Browning, who was radically debilitated by a stroke, was a resident of a nursing home for more than a year and one-half when Mrs. Herbert, her cousin and caregiver, sought to have the feeding tube removed, honoring Mrs. Browning living will.
He writes of his meeting, including a “soul-speak” conversation: “‘Mrs. Browning, do you want to die? … Do you want to die?’—I near shouted as I continued to peer into her pools of strikingly beautiful but incognizant blue. It was so eerie. Her eyes were wide open and crystal clear, but instead of the warmth of lucidity, they burned with the ice of expressionlessness.” (63)
Felos notes that Browning was not in a coma and she was “more than vegetative, as she appeared able at times to interact with her environment in a rudimentary way.” (68)
Chapter Eight, “Soul-Speak”
“As I continued to stay beside Mrs. Browning at her nursing home bed, I felt my mind relax and my weight sink into the ground. I began to feel light-headed as I became more reposed. Although feeling like I could drift into sleep, I also experienced a sense of heightened awareness. As Mrs. Browning lay motionless before my gaze, I suddenly heard a loud, deep moan and scream and wondered if the nursing home personnel heard it and would respond to the unfortunate resident. In the next moment, as this cry of pain and torment continued, I realized it was Mrs. Browning. I felt the mid-section of my body open and noticed a strange quality to the light in the room. I sensed her soul in agony. As she screamed I heard her say, in confusion, ‘Why am I still here … why am I here?’ My soul touched hers and in some way I communicated that she was still locked in her body. I promised I would do everything in my power to gain the release her soul cried for. With that the screaming immediately stopped. I felt like I was back in my head again, the room resumed its normal appearance, and Mrs. Browning, as she had throughout this experience, lay silent.” (73)
“I knew without a doubt what had transpired was real and dispelled the thought as intellect’s attempt to assert its own version of reality.” (73)
As proof of the existence of “soul-speak,” as he calls it, Felos cites an incident with his wife years before concerning their yet-to-be-conceived, unborn son. At this time there was disagreement between he and his wife about whether they should have children. One day at his office, Felos was “hammerstuck. While almost seeing stars like a comic book character, I heard the soul of my yet-to-be-conceived child emphatically shout: ‘I’m ready to be born…will you stop this fooling around!’ … The voice I heard was distinctly male, and I beamed with the idea I had a son—or was going to have a son—or sorta had a son out there—or something like that.” (75) Later, when his wife told him of having a similar experience that day. “I had no doubt we were beneficiaries of the same soul transmission…” (76)
[Later in the book, Felos describes another “soul-speak” conversation with Mrs. Browning the evening before the trial began in which he argued for removing her feeding tube. (216)]
In addition to other implicit and explicit suggestions of Felos’ belief in reincarnation, he discusses his previous existences and/or future existences or lifetimes (106, 138).
In a discussion of the “cosmic law of cause and effect,” Felos argues that we create our own physical realities with our mind, but most people do not understand their own power to change their life’s circumstances – even including the ability to make a new dream car appear “out of the ether.” (178-179) He cites as an example of this power, the biblical account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead because Jesus concentrated solely on that act. “Jesus knew without any shred of doubt whatsoever that through God all things were possible. That is why Lazarus rose, and that same knowing is also why the mountain did come to Mohammed.” (179, italics in original)"
THIS INSANE MAN NEEDS TO BE CERTIFIED. NOT AS A LAWYER, BUT AS A MANIAC!
Somewhere in the desert there's an empty snake hole, Felos should slither back into it.
Gee Felos, what would you call it?
That's because his agenda, by far, outweighed any concern for Terri or human life in total for all that matters, thus, his keen ability to show his likening to Stalin for the avid historians.
From I can deduce from him, he considers it blissful living.
The Ultimate Fast?
Spinning like a top perhaps?
I've got a better idea.
Plug the hole.....
"process" is one of the words used by the cult he follows.
FELOS is undeniably and certifiably NUTS. He is also a LIAR.
It's leading us to the "final solution".
He and his cronies are too scary for words.
FELOS is a dangerous man who shouldn't be ALLOWED to run LOOSE. I pity his next VICTIM!
Such lies. There could have been nothing "peaceful" about Terri's murder. There are no words to express my outrage.
It's funny, after seeing Felos' press conference today, I was struck by one thought....
I never knew that douchebags could talk.
I know I'm 'spose to say that I'm comforted.....
Many don't realize that, thus when douchebags do talk, they make lot's of money!
Sadly enough.
