My last words on Terri...

Unless some miracle happens, Terri Shiavo will die soon. Legal scholars will say the judicial system adhered to the law and liberals who see this as a "defeat" for Bush or the GOP Congress will be gleeful inside while trying to mask their elation on the outside. I actually wonder if some of these ghouls will actually express their satisfaction at the result.

In any case, this was a tragedy, one that didn't necessarily have to happen.

Now the "husband" is in the process of putting the final screws to the Shindler family and seeking to ensure that, when Terri dies, her body is cremated. One has to wonder whether or not she - reportedly a devout Roman Catholic - would really want her remains to be disposed of in this manner. However, we only have Michael Schiavo's word for it.

Oh, and of course if her body is cremated than any chance for an evaluation of her medical state at the time of death (and any evidence of possible physical abuse) would be lost forever.

Part of me wishes that, upon Terri's death, the Florida States Attorney swears out a warrant for Michael Shiavo's arrest on the charge of first degree murder and that the trial that followed would lead to - at best - a conviction that would put him in prison for the rest of his life or - at worst - financial ruin for the douche bag.

Yes, that would be a satisfying result. But it wouldn't really change anything. Michael Schiavo's actions are between him and God and one day he will have all eternity to spend trying to justify them.
