ejsant BS: Vegetative Woman Shuts Down US Gov't... (213* d) RE: BS: Vegetative Woman Shuts Down US Gov't... 25 Mar 05


Greetings John Hardly,

"What you are saying is that Terry's family MUST agree with the findings as if they were the wishes of Terry, regardless of how well they may think they knew(know?) Terry themselves, and, unless they come to the acceptance of the court's decision as being the same as having been clearly written by a Terry, healthy and of sound mind, any legal contesting they do is underhanded and sinister."

No that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that I do not believe based upon their actions that Terri's parents would have simply accepted a written statement of their daughter's wishes with out contest, unless of course her wishes agreed with her parents.

Please understand, I do not condemn her parents for their actions. With the Grace of God I have yet to face these decisions as they would relate my wife or to one of my children. Believe I thank the Lord each day for being spared this.   

Well we have found a part of this truly sad and unfortunate situation that we agree on. There is not doubt that Terri's parents are unhappy with the courts' rulings. And they are entitled to pursue any legal means available to them. As I have stated repeatedly, my disagreement is solely with the action taken by the Legislative and Executive branches of our Government last weekend. They clearly, on an individual case basis, attempted to subvert our system of government. Yet they have not taken action on the countless other cases of this nature either currently being fought in the courts or those past. This to me is called political pandering and we should carefully consider re-electing those that participated.

Greetings All,

The very thought of an elected Governor, one that has sworn an oath to uphold the laws of the State in which he was elected, threatening to take unilateral action troubles me more than, well almost anyway, the action taken in Washington, DC. Wasn't ridding Iraq of a dictator a prime justification for our invasion used by the very brother of the "Governor" that now has contemplated this unilateral action?

McGrath…, Do you see what a can of worms has been opened by the blatant disregard of our system of governance by the Congress and President?

Peace,
Ed
