I don’t mean to sound harsh or anything but I’m actually encouraged that the “feeding tube to the news media” has finally been pulled by her passing (or so I hope). I had to drive in this morning listening to nothing but commentary about the whole thing -no matter which talk radio station I went to -and from completely different sides of opinion. Frankly, at this point, I’m sick of the whole thing. I mean, I gave up even caring after the Supreme Court knocked down a measure made by the US Senate over their emergency session. I felt that after that there’s no use trying anything. If a US judge can flip off the US Senate, what else can be done (within reason)? Frankly, I don’t know WHO to believe anymore anyways. I’ve been flooded with so much contrary information that I don’t what is truth and what is not. I boiled it down to some very basic facts:
– The husband isn’t in it for the money since he’s already turned down $6 million for her custody. That means that his interest in her death is either out of his desire to carry out her claimed wishes made to him in the past. The only other reasonable explanation for his actions would be to conceal some mis-deeds that may be revealed if she somehow recovers (which is a stretch in my opinion).
Beyond that, all I’ve heard can be contradicted by someone else so I give up and frankly I’m a little tired of it all. One station spent the entire morning taking calls from people just to express their feelings. What?! I don’t make the effort to listen to talk radio for common people’s opinions. I want to hear from the experts, the informed, the distinguished. If I wanted “the man on the street” opinion, I’d GO to the street (or watch my local news stations -they’re always full of useless opinions like that). Is our country going to hell in a hand basket? Sure it is. But Terri’s story isn’t even close to the core -nor will it edify anything anymore. The arguments are pointless and the opinions make no difference. Please stop talking about it. I want to hear about something else now.
