Biscuits on Schiavo

 - Brian

I f[*]cking hate dogmatists.

Absolutism carries the burden—no, the requirement!—of Being Right all the time. Every time. No exceptions. That's the rule.

And when you actually are Wrong, what do you do? You hedge, you change the nature of truth, and you claim Truth Once Again.

Bill Frist is on record and on tape as having watched a video of Terri Schiavo and concluding that there was no evidence that she was in a persistent vegetative state. Yesterday, after this[link],

"An autopsy released Wednesday concluded that she had been in a persistent vegetative state and revealed no evidence that she was strangled or otherwise abused before she collapsed."

Bill Frist now says he never made any determination one way or another as to her persistent vegetative state.

He [link to Green Flash] and he and they [Blog Hogger] held on, held tight to the notion that she was not in a persistent vegetative state, that she clearly was alive and on the mend, and that everyone else was Wrong Wrong Wrong. All this, despite their being a martinet, an apologist and a bunch of Calvinist Catholic teens, respectively, with no evidence—much less authority—to claim truth.

Biscuits doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. The only time he links to us is when he thinks he's proven us wrong or something.

Anyway, he claimed that we denied Terry's persistent vegetativetive state. However, we made no such claim.

Here's an archive of our Schiavo threads (in no particular order):

#1
#2
#3
#4

In other words, he lied. Why am I not surprised...
