Mind Your Own Damn Business!
Are you tired of the Terri Schiavo crap yet? Now we have pious, right-wing, hypocrites playing God for political gain. Hey congress (and W), this is a family matter! Mind your own damn business!!!

Court appointed doctors have declared (and continue to do so) that Terri is in a persistent, vegetative state. The courts sided with her husband & legal guardian, Michael Schiavo. The legislative branches of Florida and the United States drafted special bills. The executive branches of Florida and the United States signed them into law. The courts smacked down the laws as un-constitutional and again sided with the husband. The Florida and US Supreme Courts refused to get involved.

Hello? Anyone see a pattern here? Terri & Michael Schiavo, husband & wife, discussed what they would want the other to do in extreme circumstances. What gives anyone (her parents, the legislators, the president) the right to interfere with that? True, she doesn't have a living will but what ever happened to the verbal contract?

Fortunately Michele & I have living wills. Should we ever find ourselves in a situation like the Schiavo's, none of this crap will matter. Our legal, written decisions will be honored, not our parents, not the legislators, and certainly not the president of the United States.

To everyone out there, leave Terri & Michael Schiavo alone to do what they agreed upon. Stop being selfish and self-serving. Let Terri go so she can move on to the next stage of her existence.

    The Government is to much in our faces these days. Even though I am a Fla. resident, I agree, they should all stay out of it. When Gov. Bush had his hands tied and couldn't do anything else for the family, that's when Bro Geo came to the rescue. Let her go in peace. Remember this David, your Father and I do not want to be kept alive. For What? Mom

I'm happily married to my high-school sweetheart and have two sons. I love relaxing down the Jersey Shore. I also enjoy sitting by the pool after dinner, talking to the wife, watching the kids, and smoking a cigar.
