COMMENTS:
because 60,000 other cases did not become well known to the world. If they were maybe the laws would be changed and this will not happen to 59,999 more people.
The laws were changed runyon, in TX with Bush as governor, they were changed in a manner that people in these states would be killed off more swiftly.
Same reason why war-deaths are complained about but murders on the street, which overwhelmingly outnumber those, arent.
True. If the 59,000 other people's families raised enough of a ruckus, they'd get some attention too.
Not all of those 59,000 though are in the same condition as Terri was. Much of them worse off, not being able to even move, see, hear, open eyes, or even breathe on their own.
Runyon, read this Advance Directives Act signed by George W Bush which allows the state of Tx to pull the plug despite the guardians wishes.
I don't live there, so i don't know the Texas laws.
Why are you focused only on Texas and not the whole country?
Every state has their own laws, so why should i / we focus only on the one that Bush was Governor of? I'm more intetested in the country as a whole, and not just bush's state of texas.
You are wanting the government to step in and create laws for the land, I am merely pointing out what the "CEO" of the land did when he was "CEO" of Tx, do you not see the connection ?
Then again Bush does change his mind often, so maybe he has a new thought on this.
This doesn't even have anything to do with the ballot question. The question was why don't people support the other 60,000 just like Terri. This is a whole other issue.
You said "maybe the laws would change", am I not allowed to respond to your comment now?
You are wanting the government to step in and create laws for the land.......WHERE did i say that? Good grief duckhead your putting words in my mouth. I said i was more interested in the whole country, i didn't say anything about creating new laws. I meant the other people like terri schiavo, should also have a voice.
"If they were MAYBE THE LAWS WOULD BE CHANGED and this will not happen to 59,999 more people" -Runyon.
ok, going back to my first comment. The voice of the people has to be heard. If this was done, then "WE AS A PEOPLE" could change things. This country belongs to the people not the goverment.
apparently you are not familiar with the current administration, lol.
AND the voice of the nation clearly wouldnt echo yours, even Fox News admits that.
or the one before that or that or that or that, and the beat goes on....
really, your not familiar with ANY of those?
did we actually get through that without fighting duckhead? Hotdang, time to celebrate, where's my gatorade...
damn, i spoke to soon.
lol, we havnt had a good fight in a while.
actually i was to busy partying back then and didn't pay much attention. That's the truth...although i did vote back in the clinton years, but we have already had that CONVERSATION....
The issue with Bushy is his total hypocrisy. How can he be so totally against pulling the plug on Terry Schiavo, so much so that he actually cut short one of his many vacations and left his beloved Crawford, TX bike trails to return to Washington, when he had signed, as governor of Texas, a law allowing hospitals to pull the plug on anyone they chose, even if the family objected. So if Terry Schiavo had been in Texas, and her money had run out, the hospice could have pulled her feeding tube, over the Schindler's objections, because of a law that Bushy had supported and signed. HYPOCRISY.
60,000 people are in the same condition as Terri Schiavo. And this isn't the first case to have politicians involved - Virginia had a similar case. Why this became a big deal is that it got hijacked by the religious nutjobs. And I might point that the Shindlers have said that even if she had told them to pull the plug in a situation like this, they would not honor that request.
Comment : What might give you the idea we don't support every other individual that might die in a similar fashion? Answer the media never reports it therefore we were unaware. No one deserves to die via dehydration/starvation, well except maybe Judge Greer, Michael Schiavo, and his rat bastard lawyer.
Here we go again! Blame the randomly assigned judge because he decided the case on the basis of law. Which BY THE WAY... was upheld by every court all the way to the supreme court. So... all those judges must deserve death too because they didn't overrule him?
Now you're talkin. An ruling that is just in the eyes of the law doesn't mean it's a just ruling.
So..why does he deserve death?
He accepted funds from Michael Schiavo's lawyer and gave the execution orders for Terry to be brutally starved and dehydrated.
So now you are for murdering judges? That is a federal crime and a felony.
so
Those of you on the right advocating the murder of judges just because you disagree with their decisions are scarey. There's a term for that: FASCISM.
SO? So is advocating it, too.
I view the Judge as a tyrant so if he were to meet an untimely death I wouldn't be angry or upset. He essentially murdered someone because she was disabled and accepted payment for his moral crime.
I'm not sure why you're having a hard time accepting my comments.They are based on feelings and observations, surely you can understand that.
Good ballot, smooth. Whether one agrees with the position or not, one thing that can be respected is Consistency in the application of the principle. Some supporters have been consistent; but a lot of others may have some soul searching to do.
For example: If you supported Schiavo's keeping the feeding tube and denounced Bush's Texas Bill saying it was OK to pull the plug if the patient couldn't pay -- I respect your principles. Or vice versa, for that matter.
If you're support depends on who is involved, though ...
LCB, I can respect your feelings of disgust. Advocating the death or a murder of a judge is something I would expect from the Iraqi resistance, Islamic terrorists, communists, and dictatorships, not from you.
The 'necks fantasy terrorism against Judge Greer shows their true colors. And the distortions of the truth are amazing. Greer did not receive payment for the judgement he made, that's an out-and out-crock and the Terry Schiavo case was brought before six different courts, and was rejected by the fascistic Supreme Court of the United States FIVE times. This obsession with Judge Greer simply shows how the simple 'neck mind has to have a villian and is incapable of understanding anything that isn't a big lie in black and white.
