Re: Michael Schiavo's side of the story
This is how it actually went down:
A young man married his college sweetheart. Through her own self-destructive tendencies she ended up in a coma. He waited (and mourned) a respectable amount of time (we're talking years here .....which is pretty impressive for a man in his 20's) . At some point he accepted the reality that she wasn't coming back. He proceeded with her wishes. Her money-grubbing parents showed up and acted like idiots. He continued to proceed with the wishes of his comatose wife and he began living again. Her parents became media whores and we all (suddenly - gasp) heard the story. He kept his mouth shut and did not talk to the media. Her parents continued to be money-grubbing media whores. Bill O-Reilly and Nancy Grace got involved. The parents loved the attention so much they actually made films of the poor comatose girl. He won in court... because he was right.
Any questions?

Bringing into the public spotlight, when the entire world was over and done with it months ago, to try to 'put it all right' is the epitome of insecurity and money-grubbing IMO.
What happened to dignity?

Leslie, as a parent, I find it hard to believe that her parents put on a three ring circus to be just "money grubbing" I would hope, sincerely, that they had better motives than that. But that's just me.

After every media frenzy and public lynching there is one individual who asks:
"Where do I go to get my good name back?"

Dignity? Her parents showed none. Sorry, some people are simply vile.
