Spent Saturday in Tusla with some friends I really like. Good mix of differing opinions and beliefs. We did manage to get to the only store I know of that has a big selection of Kinder and Ritter-Sport products. The rest of the day was spend eating, shopping, and talking. Good time with good friends.

In response to one of the streams of conversations I wanted to provide a link to some facts and details about the Terri Schiavo case. I put it to you that, whether it it right or wrong, the husband Michael is not the enemy in this drama and seems to have taken measures to ensure his was not the only voice in the desire to remove Terri's feeding tube. He is is just the "face" that the opponents and the media have latched on to. Take a look at this reasonably impartial FAQ on the events surrounding the case and her condition.

I was on the side of the removal of the feeding tube before, but admit that I had lingering doubts about the motives of the husband. These have largely been assuaged after reading the linked page.

I do question the timing...why now and not three years earlier or later? Anyway...it mentions in the FAQ he's been offered millions to stop the process and restore the feeding tube but, "Michael lacks the power to undo the court order determining Terri's wishes and requiring the removal of her feeding tube. He did not make the decision and cannot unmake it. The court made the decision on Terri's behalf. Nonetheless, Michael apparently rejected each offer." This would seem to ovbiate the argument that he's only doing this to get to the settlement $$. That's another question...how much is even left after being under constant medical care for over a decade?

Happy Palm Sunday!!!
