One degree of separation
Hard to believe that Circuit Judge George Greer, the judge in the Terry Schiavo case, and Jim Morrison -- yes, that Jim Morrison -- have anything in common, right? Well, read this piece on Judge Greer's 2+ years at St. Petersburg Junior College. (In case, dear reader, you're unaware of the sitaution, Terry Schiavo's parents want to continue feeding their daughter, believing that starvation is a terrible way for her to die, whereas her former husband wants to stop feeding her and get away from the whole thing, which her parents are already more than willing to have him do as it is. I'm not sure what I think about the ethical and practical issues because it's a horrible situation with no one emerging well or happy no matter what happens, unless Terry stands up all healthy and fine which of course simply won't and can't happen.) Anyway, the Morrison-Greer story is a much needed note of hilarity.
