Taking Water to Terri Schiavo

Don't try it. You will be arrested for trespassing.

Attempting to take a glass of water to Terri Schiavo in the Woodside Hospice, Gabriel Keys was arrested yesterday by police. The photo illustrates how appallingly sad the situation has become. In its zeal to kill Terri Schiavo, the legal system places a boy under arrest for trying to do a good deed. It's one sick message to send out.

Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Gabriel Keys might have been allowed to take water to Terri a day earlier. Tuesday was World Water Day which celebrates the "Water For Life" advocacy of the World Health Organization. The purpose is to assure that everyone on the planet has clean, fresh water.
