It's already proven. You *do* have access to the internet, don't you?



As a matter of fact I do, and I can't find any credible source that says
he'll get a million dollars when she dies. I can find more

misinformation
and rumor than you can shake a stick at, though.

Here's what you said (and subsequently snipped):

Prove it. There's nothing in writing - just the words of her husband
(who, maybe not coincidentally, has denied her rehabilitation, and
stands to gain a million dollars at her death).


I can't find a single credible source that says he'll inherit any cash,
much
less the specific sum of one million dollars. I -can- provide cites like
this one, though. It's
from WSTV in Florida, and is dated 3/16/2005.


From http://www1.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/C71187/:

quote

"George Felos, Schiavo's lawyer, said his client never received or had

any
control over a $1 million medical malpractice award. Felos said the

money
is
gone, used for her medical and guardianship expenses. A hospice program

is
caring for her now.

"It's not about the money," said Schiavo, who said he will not receive

any
life insurance money upon Terri's death. "This is about Terry. It's not
about the Schindlers, it's not about the legislators, it's not about me,
it's about what Terry Schiavo wanted."

end quote

I think that the facts of the matter have been spread around and

distorted
in the telling to the point where they're almost beyond recognition. If
you
have a credible source that shows that he will in fact receive life
insurance money, I'm all ears.

Incidentally, I find this quote from the same source to be noteworthy:

quote

"Schiavo, now a father in another relationship, said he would not give
guardianship to the Schindlers because of her father's earlier

testimony.

"Mr. Schindler testified in court ... to keep Terri alive he would cut

her
arms and legs off and put her on a ventilator just to keep her alive. So
why
would I give her to a man that would do that to you?" Schiavo said."

end quote

I've also been all over http://www.terrisfight.net/ which is maintained

by
The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation in conjunction with her family,

and
I
can't find anything there about Schiavo collecting on a life insurance
policy. That may be significant, or it may not be.


Okay, I've gotcha. You make a straw-man, moving-target issue of
"credibility,"
so you get to dodge any idea of proof, believability, and reason.

I understand now, and you've made it clear you won't be persuaded. Fair
'nuff.


What are you babbling about? I've provided sources of info, and you've
provided nothing but empty claims. If you want to claim, as cuhulin seems to
feel, that sites like rense.com (where they claim the Twin Towers were
brought down with explosives) are credible and deserve due consideration,
feel free. In the meantime, I'll feel free to point out that you've been
challenged to prove a statement that you made, or at the very least provide
a modicum of support for it, and that you haven't been able to do so.

I've provided some support for -my- position, and even explained to you that
I tried but failed to find support for yours. Quit whining, and take your
turn. If you have some evidence, trot it out.
