Is there something in the water? (by guest blogger Dawn Summers)
Watching the gaggle of press covering protestors being arrested for attempting to hydrate Terri Schiavo, I can't help but feeling like Florida has become the media frenzy capital of the world.
In the past five years they have played host to:
Arrest of the Governor's Daughter
Boy crashing stolen plane into building
Sure, California tried to compete with its Scott Peterson/mudslide/Governor recall, but hands down, Florida's got them beat.
Thank goodness I live here, in the peaceful obscurity of New York City.

How the hell does FLA beat CA?!

This woman is being starved to death by a man who doesn't love her and a runaway judiciary that needs to be put in its place.
Oh, and now a Senate with no semblance of a moral compass.
It's time for a Jeb executive order. Step up to the plate, Bush 44.

I think its up to the caregiver or guardian in this case the husband. Obviously that can't be applied to every medical situation but this woman has been in a coma for a very long time.

Posted by: Dawn Summers at March 24, 2005 12:56 PMDon't forget the Jessica Lunsford event, also in Florida. It's been overshadowed by Terri Schiavo, but it's holding its own against the Michael Jackson Show for second place on the news. Jessica's case is more tragic that Terri's if you ask me. Unfortunately it's also less unusual.
