1.) Defense of Mrs Schiavo vs. Mr. Schiavo. As I've explained before, to me it comes down to guardianship. If you believe in it, and the guardian is ruled competent, then it's their call. It's not perfect, but it's the best we have and it meets my highest standard: it can be used on me. For example, medical experiments kill people every day (Alzheimer's most recently publicized). I'm not happy about that, but it's a volunteer thing like marriage. Put another way, Mrs. Schiavo CHOSE to marry Mr. Schiavo and CHOSE to stay with him. IF she's a victim, she's a victim of her own poor choices. It's question of personal responsibility to me. 2.) About facts and a profile. Previously you've said, "oh yeah, he fits the profile." I find that to be a irresponsible statement. Here's why: Let's say I calculate the probability of people getting into a car accidents. One high risk profile might be: Male, 16-24, unmarried, not college educated, poor high school grades, unemployed, high horsepower car. Being male dings someone a bit, unmarried puts him higher, etc. In the end I can calculate his probability of getting into an accident and charge him accordingly. What I'm looking for is this type of analysis that would definitively put Mr. Schiavo in the 90th percentile or higher. You have just a bit of a start (albeit after your accusation), so let's look at your progress: 1.) Males who are victims of abuse. (Do we know Mr. Schiavo was?) 2.) Education. (Do we know his IQ?) 3.) Money problems (Do we know they had more than average?) If that's all you have then your a long way from "oh yeah". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:153962 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
