That he's after the money. Do you really think a man would go to these lengths to fulfill his dead wife's supposed wish, especially when he's already moved on and started another family? That's just plain gullibility...

I'd fight my wife's family attempt to keep my wife's body alive if she'd expressed to me a wish not to be kept in such a state. I'd fight as long as it took, even as I moved on with my life.

So we know you're immoral, fine. That has nothing to do with Michael Schiavo.

I still see no rational reason why he, if he was after money, he would have turned down the offers of millions of dollars. That's the huge, gaping hole in your "logic" through which one could drive a train. As noted, he has been "publicly shamed" already. Any such shame that would have come years ago would be pretty minimal next to having millions of dollars. Today he has no millions, and people camped outside his home everyday calling him a murderer.

It's sad to see you tying yourself in logical knots like this. Just another stooge in the right-wing campaign to smear Michael Schiavo.

It's the truth. You and Boris want them to kill Terri Schiavo and nothing anyone can say will make you see that it might be a bad idea. With that being the case, what's the point of arguing seriously? Might as well have some fun...

Not even that. If there was majority medical opinion in favor of keeping her going in hopes of rehabilitation, I'd say give it a shot. If she hadn't spent 15 years in her vegetative state with no improvement, I'd say give it more time.

But enough is enough. She's never improved, and the overwhelming medical consensus is that she will never improve. There has to come a point where people stop living in denial and let this poor woman die in peace.

* DinoDoc decides to discuss something interesting

Why is Congress trying to pointlessly tamper with State's rights over something so trivial? It's one thing for a state legistlature to inject itself into this sad affair but it is quite disturbing (to me at least) for Congress to throw out any pretense of Federalism to do so.

Good point DD.

IMHO, it's either one of two things.... or both...

1. the GOP wants to rally it's base around something

2. they want to distract the public from real issues like SS privatization

Tom DeLay has taken up the cause to divert attention away from his ethical lapses. He's been ducking the media for weeks, but now he's come leaping out gleefully in the Schiavo case because he can use it to take the spotlight off of his shameful misconduct.

The unity is that no one wants to deal with SS, Sava. They might as well not deal with it together.
