What I am going to say now is not going to fly very well with the folks here on Mudcat; but then again I am not out to win a popularity contest here, only to state what I believe to be right. Schiavo has everything to gain and nothing to lose if he succeeds in killing his wife. Supposing we give him something to be afraid of. If I were Jeb Bush, there is one ultimate weapon I could use to save Terri's life and the fact that my brother is President would reinforce that.
The magic word my friends is PARDON. I would let it be known that any person or persons who wished stop Mr. Schiavo from murdering his wife, by any means necessary, would be pardoned both by me and the President in the event that they committed any act that would result in a criminal prosecution, either state or federal. I am sure that in this right wing nation of religious zealots someone would take up the challenge. Believe me Schiavo would quake in his boots and run the other way before going anywhere near that feeding tube. And with this final thought in mind I bid you all good night. It has been a long day for all of us.
