RE: Your inappropriate intervention in the Terri Schiavo case

Mr. Jackson:

I just finished reading the story about how you have arrived in Florida at Ms. Schiavo's hospice to join the media and Christian circus down there. I cannot be less pleased with your decision. It shows what many have said about you over the years: that you crave the spotlight and will do everything to keep your name and face in media.

Michael Schiavo seems to be the only one thinking about his wife Terri and her wants and desires. Would you really want your loved one tied to a machine the rest of their lives? Can you blame him for wanting this to be over for Terri? The powers-that-be made up their minds about her 15 years ago. Keeping her alive only makes us feel better. It keeps us from mourning her and letting her go when in reality she left this world years ago.

The Schindlers have had more than their fair time in court, state and federal representatives continue to exceed their authority, and now you've decided to grace us with your presence. There is so much senseless death in this planet. So much hunger. So much oppression. Is this really what we should be concentrating on right now?

I encourage you, Mr. Jackson, to withdraw and pray in private about this unfortunate situation - pray for all of those involved since I see no winners. I can only hope that you can still remember what the word private means.

Sincerely,

Gray Watson
