Just speculation on your part.

Educated speculation. NONE of us really have firsthand facts in this case.

Of course you are entitled to your speculation and I am entitled to dismiss your comments.

Of course. However, it is troubling that you'll dismiss me out of hand, a fellow FReeper of some tenure and presumably SOME shared values - but will accept some Australian article COMPLETELY at face value.

Maybe some doctor screwed you over before.

Not me personally, but watching others has allowed me (and my family) to mostly avoid issues caused by the normal human foibles that doctors share with the rest of mankind.

Not sure or care what your agenda is.

Must I have an agenda to make these statements? Can't they simply be valid points?

[plain talk]

NONE of us really have firsthand facts in this case.

Exactly. When liberals jump to conclusions based on prejudices and not having specific facts all of us jump on them. I just think as FReepers we should hold our own to a high standard. You could be entirely right on this but I am just pointing out that your statement that 20 people conspired to result in a single opinion is speculation. We really don't know that to be true. That's all. Take care. Enough of this.
