We have one all planned and paid up for the end of April/beginning of May. It's too late to take it back now as we're visiting friends in St. Augustine and Key West, but this will probably be a first and a last for us. I've taken my summer vacation in Florida for many years, but never again. I was even planning on retiring there. We won't spend another penny in Florida voluntarily. M

Well, dont forget, many of those protesters out front for Terri ARE FLORIDIANS. I am wondering WHY they charged the man with BURGLARY, what did he do to bring that on? Seems kind of silly to me. As to the officers themselves, dont you think they are just doing as ordered? I blame the judges both State and Federal. jdn

CB, Does it really make sense to boycott an entire state because of what just a few citizens have done that you disagree with. After all, both houses of the Florida legislature has tried, from day one, to keep the feeding tube in Terri, and exhausted all avenues available to them to continue with her treatment. As JDN said, a large portion of the population of Florida has been on the side of the Schindlers from the git go. Your anger is, at best, misdirected. The final verdict was up to federal court judges, including the Supreme Court. How many of them are Floridians?? The police are like soldiers. They must follow the orders of the court, but you want to blame the individual officers, as if they were the demons that initiated the action. As an attorney, you should be ashamed of yourself for losing sight of the arm of the law, as dictated by the judges that those in your profession have to face on many occasions. To blame a state for the action of a few of it's citizens, is bias to the nth degree. I guess I will have to stay away from New Orleans, because some guy got killed there the other day. God forbid that I go to NYC, that registers a murder every day. Can't even visit D.C. any more because of the rampant crime inside the loop. Won't even consider Chicago, because it was once a haven for the mafia. NOW, don't you see how silly your idle threat of not visiting Florida is? Not that I care where you go, or what you do. it ain't no skin off my nose.
