This New York Times piece provides a summary of the stance of Dr. James Holsinger regarding his views on a number of issues.
I thought his responses to the criticisms of his 1991 paper were reasonable and, as a professor, understandable. Most of us writes tons of stuff for various audiences and I certainly do not agree with some things I wrote 16 years ago. As an academic matter, I would wonder how his views have changed and why. Those who oppose him might want to know that to since I doubt they have much trust. Those who were inclined to favor him may now feel he has vacillated.
Note his top priorities:
…tackling childhood obesity, โmaking America a tobacco-free nationโ and improving the ability of the Public Health Service to respond to emergencies.
All three are admirable but the second is, I suspect, a pipe dream…
One must delve deeper, this is obviously Cameronesque coded-speech for getting rid of homosexuals. ๐
And obvioulsy Dr T is privy to the code…. ๐
Jim – It’s a Portsmouth-thing.
Groan… ๐
heh heh. Pipe dream. Get it?
Warren, you’re good at this! ๐
