" The man has been with another woman long-enough for common law marriage to kick in" Depends on the state, I guess. In Texas, common law marriages require the couple in question to claim they are married. Does Florida have a common law requirement?

Re: "Dude, I don't care if I've convinced you or not. That's not my job. I know what reality is and I am convinced that the Schiavo case has been over researched and over documented." I was doubting whether you convince anyone with your non-responses, not so much me in particular. You seem to mean you wouldn't want the information on the family's side to be heard. I see. The judge turned at least one witness back without hearing her, and must feel that way, whether you do or not. It's too bad, frankly, when evidence is turned away like that. I am wrong because I am relying on case law and evidence that was developed in 8 court trials over 7 years? What are you relying on........your opinion? In the old days, an adulterer might have lost his say-so to the family just for being one, and surely some judges would rule just that way today. The man has been with another woman long-enough for common law marriage to kick in, and if you don't think it's fair to say the Family should have the say-so over Terri at such a point, the Judge agrees with you. I believe I would agree with you and the Judge myself in this day and age and given the circumstances he faces, if it weren't for the evidence and testimony concerning his actual actions which the Judges have failed to consider. I see. I am not about to get into this one. Re: "And seriously, after seeing your friends outside the hospice " You are so less than speaking seriously here, it's ludicrous. It happens that I'm not church-going (I cringe at what I consider pompous talk of Jesus or you name him, as Savior,), not a Republican, not even a Democrat like Joe Leiberman and others who empathize with Terri's parents and their position. Hmmmmmm.......look above at your commentary re. M. Schiavo, the adulterer. Frankly, I'm a bit scared by those demonstators too, though I guess not so much as you are. When it comes to not letting religious demonstrators who disagree with you, whom you are sure are wrong, "outside their homes," I find you speaking as a fascist, IMHO. Or can't you see that now? I think religious ideologues are the most dangerous people in the world. I would prefer these people would be kept in their homes under house arrest. I know that's not possible but it is my wish nonetheless. ted
