Awaking the Sleeping Giant

This is a good article from David Limbaugh. Even though I am an Australian citizen, my reading of the situation is quite close to his timely comments.

My own interest in Terri Schiavo's case stems from the realization that her case would open the door to widespread slaughter of the disabled, elderly, and mentally incapacitated. This case was not about "euthanasia", especially for someone who was dying. Terri was not dying at all. She was not in a comatose condition either. It was about granting the husband and guardian the legal right to murder his wife by judicial decree.

When the USA had the Roe vs. Wade decision, the Australian judicial activists followed down the same path. That means with the Schiavo decision, unless it is undermined by legislation to prevent that kind of decision from happening again, there might be an opportunity for someone in Australia to attempt to pull the same kind of stunt. The fact is Greer's Law, which was the only rule of the law followed in Pinellas County, has set an extremely dangerous precedent.

However, this time I think that the players in the game have gone too far. The more people find out about the Schiavo case the more the discover that they have been duped about the circumstances. As they make that discovery, the backlash will become like a tidal wave against the Judiciary, Legislature and Executive. One of the dangers of using judges who are elected to office is that it is easy to end up with a corrupt judge who is willing to turn his back on the law, for the sake of power and in pursuit of fame.

What was to be gained for George Greer in making a decision to murder Terri Schindler? Good question. If it was fame that he wanted, well he is now famous. One could say that he is now infamous because of what he has done.

Around 2000 years ago, some Jews put to death an innocent man. That innocent man was tortured prior to his horrible death. However, his death was a triumph over sin and Satan. Now with the death of an innocent woman, Theresa Schindler, will there be yet another triumph over the culture of death?
