This guy nailed it in the first couple of paragraphs. The words "zealots" springs to mind. I'm a scientist, we prove, or disprove hypothesis with solid, researched, and peer reviewed facts. We do that to advance the knowledge of man to serve man, and dispell myths and lies & confusion. In order to be a "scientist" you must leave all of your ideals & beliefs at the door of the lab. You must take a strong tack that deals in science and pure logic. I can tell you that I have run up some blind alleys that I thought would change the world, but I had to write them up honestly, and without bias. Then again, I've had wonderful accomplishments by doing the very same things (and they were proven, and peer reviewed, denoting a fact that proved the hypothesis).

When I see this kind of crap I wonder where the funding came from (research ain't cheap). The second hand smoke argument got the file thirteen a long time ago in a Federal court. The few, and biased (un-peer reviewed, undocumented, and weakly..poorly done) studies were thrown out of the court into the trash can that they so richly deserved. They have been PROVEN to be lies, unsubstantiated glods of written words and useless statistics. Yet the socialist/elistists that don't like people doing a freedom thing, blasts it across the airways and the print media like it's the truth from heaven, and they use these disproven, charlantanic studies to bolster thier claims. Amazing, simply amazing!

When people start disbelieving the logical science that will save them and believe the charlatans that would enslave them, what can the scientist do. I'll fight the charlatans, I guess, I've got no choice, I've done it all my life.

It's people like you that help me maintain my sanity in a world that has gone nuts! We have a constitution that is interpreted to mean whatever these idiots want rather than the simple meanings that was intended. I always wondered why the primary books no longer included Dick, Jane, Sally, Spot and Puff. Now, I know. There were no commas or asides for them to dispute. It's ridiculous.

And thank goodness there are some left like you out there, timydnuc. You're just about the only chance we have left to keep what's important in this mad rush to socialism.
