Jim Robinson like everyone else here is entitled to his opinion. To the best of knowledge he did not cross the line like so many of you did. I happen to disagree strongly with his statement of shame and disgrace and happen think that it was a shame and disgrace that people used Terri in the same disgraceful way that Left used her.

I post here and there because I do not want other people who visit this site to think that pulling the tube on Terri is supported only by the left. There is much division on this. Unlike some who have left I will continue to post my view until such time I am no longer allowed.

just curious, would you think differently if you felt certain Michael was lying, and he did not KNOW her wishes?

And would you support in the future, toughening up the burden of proof, more along the lines for an accused murderer?

"Unlike some who have left I will continue to post my view until such time I am no longer allowed."

It's not my ball, and even if it was, I wouldn't take it and go home. Debate should always be encouraged and has a place in a viable democracy. However, while I would eagerly listen to your opinion all day long if necessary, I wouldn't agree with it for even one second on this matter.

I am truly sad that you feel it is right for a man who commits adultery and has two bastard children with his mistress to have the "right" to dehydrate and starve his wife to death - his wife being a woman who was able to laugh until she was tied down and let to die of thirst.

I wager you have never been without water in the high desert on foot in summer. I have - miles from any water. It's torture. To deliberately subject someone to that hideousness is cruelty upon cruelty. To approve of that is inhumane.

I hope you reconsider.

There are some things worth debating and there are other things which are too absurd to debate. Obviously DU opinions, which are contrary in the extreme in many cases here on FR, are quickly zotted.

Murder is murder in any vernacular, and it should be expressly so here. No other opinion should need apply. There is no "crossing the line" as you put it in refusing to listen to people who advocate murder expound on their position.

THAT is absurd.
