Thank you also to all those who've made suggestions with respect to both the science and the law. The good advice I'm keeping close to my chest, the not-so-good ones we might publish here to throw Dr Mann's Big Tobacco lawyers off the scent.
Speaking of the upcoming trial, Denyse O'Leary was a key part of the Internet pushback against Canada's squalid "human rights" commissions five years ago, and she has noted the banner above. Denyse has a post today about the Scopes Monkey Trial comparison, and writes:

Sorry I screwed up the title with the url. Should just be “Stick of Fear”.
Steyn ping.
Mark Steyn ping.
Freepmail me, if you want on or off the Mark Steyn ping list.
Thanks for the ping Slings and Arrows.

Mark,
My wife is a social worker here in Omaha. One of her clients has early onset Alzheimers. In order for him to receive financial assistance from Douglas County, he has to fill out a 44 page application form . . . the same form EVERY MONTH!

Steyn bump!
I've looked online for you before and got totally confused because I had no idea you sang! Just like a Brit not to mention your talent, I really think listeners would love to know more about you.

Steyn sings? Not sure I'm ready for that...
He has a very nice voice and is quite talented.
