Governor Jeb Bush's intervention in the Terry Schiavo case is apparently not popular with Florida voters.

He and his legislature moved like wildfire on the Schiavo case, but they're dragging their feet on legislation to more tightly regulate Oxycontin, which has killed at least 250 (and possibly twice that number) Florida residents in the last two years. That's because tackling Oxycontin means going up against the pharmaceutical companies and possibly losing all their campaign contributions. When money becomes involved, the true hypocrisy shows through. Suddenly human life isn't so important after all.

Yeh, I saw that this morning but it's more than likely the voters that have "hanging chad" in the margin next to their names.

...as well as a vocally popular right-wing abuser who is a neighbor-in-good-stand of Jeb's.

Based on the little information I have available.

(She is effectively has as much chance of becoming Terry again as does a potato)


The prognosis does not improve with time. As such let her go to the happy hunting ground.

although this stupidity of starving her to death is rediculous. give her a nice 10 times lethal dose of morphine or what ever is quick and painless and be done with it.

hell they don't even starve prisoners to death on death row.

Of course with her current mental faculties I guess starvation would be akin to a tomato plant in bad soil.
