To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Rest In Peace, Terri. Please forgive us.
We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.
Rest in Peace, Terri Schiavon Rest in Peace, Terri Schiavo

All I have got to say is the All I have got to say is the following,
The husband used the arguement that supposedly what she had said in a healthy state is that she wouldn?t want to live in a vegetative state if indeed she ever had that unfortunate fate.
Well, I think what we(the ones who used that argument to let her die) are all missing here is the fact that ego and pride will lead us to this type of thinking, but when we are truly humbled from an unfortunate accident, we realize how important life really is and tend to rething it. These are the gifted. I believe she ompletely changed that atitude after the unfortunate event. Pride, and ego was most likely no longer a thought on her mind. Have you seen her smiles as to how happy she was to see her family members visit her? Do we really know that she still wanted to die?
Personally I believe she had alot of intelligence behind that mind that wouldnt allow control of vocal chords. She obviously was trying to talk. The 2 words that she muttered in my opinion were ?I Want? and Most of us can bet that it wasnt ?I want to die?. I have a good feeling that she was aware of alot of things that were going on in her surrounding, if not most all. Not only this, but I have a good feeling that even though she may have been bored out of her mind, that she was striving to stay happy and lovingly communicate with her family.
Somebody said it right, I believe it was on 20/20, Dateline, or one of the shows, that the husband should just divorce her and get it over with. I am ashamed at not just her husband, but society as a whole. They disregard life as a gift and let it go so easily. Im am thouroughly ashamed! I didn?t do one bit of protesting myself, so I wont be hippocritical when I state that the public did go overboard with politics, and enough so to adversely affect the family. I just let it ride out. But let it be known that I am expressing my opinion here and now.
Still not sure what I am talking about? Have you ever heard of those operations where a person was in a catatonic state, frozen with eyes open, but experienced everything that was going on and was terrified because they couldn?t communicate with the doctors or the family? Its like living dead, a curse on the living. Well Mrs. Schiavo was communicating, it was a whole different story. Was anybody listening? The husband wouldn?t admit it or allow it, he wouldn?t allow outside help at this point. He was supposedly doing her a favour. What a gimp. If he wanted to do her a favour, divorce her, and let her live out her will with the care of her loved ones and professional help.
Please be aware fellow citizens that the mind is an extraordinary thing, it can repair itfself, and beyond appearance, it does have extraordinary senses, and other forms of communication. Just because we couldn?t understand her attempted english, did we even attempt to interperit her moods(apparently happy at times), expressions(smiles on her face), recognition of family members(love and reaching out)? There is alot more that I dont need to mention, I think most of us gets the point.
EGO VS. Life.
She made an egotistical decicion based on pride in my opinion, and that eventually costed her her life, only by an un-understanding husband, murder by the hand of her own mariage through god(in sickness and in health). I think her husband is the sinner, and was truly the one that was born short a few brain cells.
The law needs help too, lets get God back in the law! There was nothing the law could do about it.
Bush is the man!
