Yes, the vast majority disdain the politicians who chose to exploit the case. And yes, a solid majority would not want their own lives prolonged in a similar situation. But the questions that cut closest to home are the family issues. What would you do if Terri Schiavo were your daughter? Why couldn't Michael Schiavo just give custody over to the parents?

Another iPod mini challenger is the Zen Micro, made by Singapore-based Creative Technology. Like the H10, the Zen Micro sports an FM radio and audio/voice recording.

Local companies resisted making foolish bets during the bubble years, hence avoiding most of the damage from the crash. To this day, Nagoya companies sport some of the lowest debt loads in the country...
...reestablish its preferred tempo after losing control of play on the Wildcats’ previous 5-on-4. And though Harvard could not further add to the lead, the Crimson certainly seemed to be solidifying its advantage in the way of momentum, repeatedly frustrating the UNH offense with solid goaltending from Grumet-Morris—who recorded 43 saves on the evening to Regan’s 39—and a multitude of textbook blocked shots that thwarted otherwise golden opportunities, most notably the Wildcats’ 1:08 5-on-3 at the close of the second period...
