The Bottom Line An open letter to Judge George Greer (the one who seems to have so much weight to throw around in the case of Terri Schindler-Schiavo)
Currently, I'm waiting for Mark & Barbara to arrive--and, frankly, wondering what the heck happened to them, though I assume that they simply got tired and decided to stop and rest for awhile. And I continue to stay busy campaigning against the possible murder of Terri Schindler-Schiavo that is now scheduled to be carried out slowly with a starting date of March 18, 2005 at one in the afternoon, Florida time. Anyway, I was given a link to this website where I could write to the now infamous Judge George Greer and decided that there were some important questions he needed to think about at least as much as I needed to ask them. This is what I sent... Dear Judge Greer, Please allow Terri's mother and father to take her home and care for her. Please don't sentence her to a slow, agonizing death by starvation. (The first paragraph of this letter was written for me (by the one who started this letter-writing campaign)--but it definitely expresses my POV. The rest of this letter will contain some of my very own thoughts). 1. Do you ever wonder why it is that Michael has banned even Terri's own family from taking pictures of her--and, for that matter, why Terri is never permitted to leave her room at the hospice center (except for occasions such as when she was taken to have her tube taken out put in taken out put in or when she had to be transferred elsewhere during a time when repairs needed to be done on the facility or something like that), even though there is a common area there for residents to sit and visit? If I were Michael trying to prove that I was dealing with a family-in-denial rallying around a corpse, I would think that the best way to accomplish that would be to show the world what Terri "really" was like--that is, unless what she "really" was like would end up giving quite the opposite impression. 2. Have you ever noticed how Michael, all along, has had a way of what I, personally, would interpret as covering his tracks from the time that he somehow had some x-rays of her sealed as confidential to how he would like to starve her to death and have her quickly cremated? And, in between, ordering her speech-therapy stopped when all signs showed that she was trying to speak--could it have been that he might have reason to be afraid of what she might say about the night of February 25, 1990!?! 3. Didn't you ever wonder why it was that Michael didn't remember what Terri wanted in the way of care until the money that was, supposedly, to go for her therapy and care had been won and tucked safely away in the bank? 4. While they are saying now that none of the money is left, don't you think that quite a chunk of it would have still been left if "the b!tch" (loving Michael's pet name for the woman he loves so much) had died back when he had hoped she would? 5. Why have you never gone to see Terri for yourself and/or had her brought into your courtroom or private chambers before making such a drastic decision? 6. Why do you choose to believe Michael while deciding that anything coming from Terri's family, friends, former caretakers, lawyers, etc. surely must be hearsay? And why are you so quick to believe the "experts" who have her in a PVS while discounting those views that say she can, even now, be helped with therapy--and, especially, the view of the one doctor (at LEAST one) who believe that broken bones and other trauma to the body are signs of abuse? 7. With nothing left in writing by Terri and two conflicting sides to choose from, don't you think--especially, in the light of people awaking from actual comas and PVS conditions after more years than Terri has been disabled and, also, in the light of discoveries being made that there's awareness present where it was once thought not to be--that it would be more wise to err on the side of caution (meaning removing Michael as guardian--more on that in next question--and giving her over to her family who want to care for her at home)? 8. Why hasn't Michael long been removed as guardian when he hasn't even obeyed the rules that he's supposed to be obeying as guardian? 9. Finally...Let's just say that Terri DOES die and Michael is free to marry the new woman in his life. However, she not only tells him that she no longer loves him but that both of the children were fathered by the mailman. So poor, grieving widower/jilted lover Michael is all alone in the world. One day, a young woman who is special to you (perhaps, a daughter or granddaughter; perhaps, a niece; perhaps, just a neighbor, friend, or the daughter/niece/granddaughter/etc. of a friend--but, all the same, someone you know and love/care a lot about) comes to you and says, "I've met the man I want to spend the rest of my life with!" If that special man turned out to be none other than Michael Schiavo, how would you feel? Would you be able to sleep at night without having nightmares? Would you be able to say, "You've made a wonderful choice!"? Just how exactly would you feel? Enuf sed...  |
