Critics fault high schools that give
kids gifts to attend classes
Cars, computers, CDs, DVDs and tickets to sporting and entertainment
events are all among the incentives local high schools are offering

Editorial
Schiavo's life ends amidst storm
of public dispute, courts made right decision to remove feeding
tube
No one can answer the question of when life truly ends. In Terri
Schiavo's case, common sense needed to prevail and it took too
long to do so. Removing her feeding tube was the right thing
to do. (more)

Column by Ricardo Melo
Doctors cruelly allow Terri Schiavo to starve to death, inhumanely
remove feeding tube
They starved her to death. It disgusts me to try and digest the
ill idea that our government handles killers and rapists more
humanely than Schiavo. I mean, here was a helpless woman fighting
for dear life and our system just shut her down. The insensitive
actions forced upon Schiavo are outright cruel, bizarre and a
prime example of a civil rights violation. Nobody should be subjected
to starve and become dehydrated to death. (more)
Guest Column by Salvador Rodriguez
Incapacitated Schiavo woman dies at right time but doctors should
not have allowed her to starve to death
The government should not have gotten involved in a private case
like this one. Schiavo's husband rightly claims that she would
want to pass away peacefully rather than suffer. How would any
one want to live in a vegetative state forever? She suffered
for over 15 years, but letting her starve to death was inhumane.
