It looks like Terry Schiavo is dead. May she rest in peace.

I am not exactly sure what the issues are in all this. To me it seems so clear cut.

The laws were upheld as Michael Schiavo won court decisions with a surprising consistency as several attempts were made to remove Michael Schiavo from custody of Terry Schiavo.Well, the courts (chock full of activists) didn't work. Bob Schindler and Mary Schindler, Terry Schiavo's parents with the complicity of others then blackmailed our political leaders to act.

Act they did. Congress sided with the Schindler's and President Bush reacted exactly the way he was expected to. He sided with life, lacking the balls necessary to tell it how it is. Ditto with Jeb Bush. He tried to get custody of her too.

Sarcastically I am surprised the Democrats voted in favor of the Schindler's usually they try to abort anything hooked up to life support regardless of age, especially the unborn.

The real point here though, is the real decision, lies with Michael Schiavo period. For a change the rights of a male were upheld. The bottom line is, Michael, like him or not is Terry Schiavo's spouse. Along with that status comes responsibility, liability and choice. You cant apply the law when it is convenient, like if there was something he has to do for her and look the other way and say he has no right to make decisions when things don't go the way you want them. Instead of fighting Michael all these years, everyone should have been trying to change the laws.

Hats off to Florida Judge George Greer who had the balls to do his job and interpret the law.

The laws are easier to change than Michael Schiavo. Like him or not, it was his call.

On a side note, while everyone is making Michael out to be some kind of villian, lest we be reminded that Terry Schiavo got into this mess because of her bullemia, a choice to throw up and or take laxitives that she made.
