> TIME Poll: A MAJORITY (53%) OF THOSE WHO CALL
> THEMSELVES EVANGELICALS SUPPORT REMOVING THE FEEDING
> TUBE, 41% OPPOSE REMOVAL OF THE FEEDING TUBE

The problem is, Terri's case is not about the feeding tube.  If I hear
one more "report" about how protestors "want to reattach the feeding
tube", I'm going to scream.  It's about giving Terri a drink people.

Those polls are *so* deceptive.  I *wish* Gallup or someone had
done a poll on Judge Greers actual order: to withhold all food and liquids 
until dead.

Because the wording of the polls is based on a lie, the results are
meaningless.  Some people may have seen through the lie and answered
accordingly.  Others simply reflected the impression that this is
about disconnecting a comatose patient from a machine.
