I'm staying out of this thread's general debate because it would take days of research on my part to form an opinion which I don't have time for and I don't currently consider myself well versed in the topic, but I did want to point out that "www.consumerfreedom.com" is the multi-million dollar propaganda mill of a hired gun lobbyist named Rick Berman. He has no scientific credentials but for enough money he will launch web based smear campaigns against anyone he is hired to do so against. Prior clients have included the tobacco, alcohol, anti-union, pro-trans fat fast food, anti-animal rights, and salt industries.
Watch this
CBSNEWS news video exposee to learn what "Dr. Evil" all about.
His modus operandi is to say the things his clients can't say in public. If Philip Morris, for example, launched websites under their
own name saying, "Second hand smoke is safe and should be of no concern" it could easily come back to haunt them. By hiring Rick Berman to do the same, however, they still get the message out there yet have no traceable culpability.
Although I don't normally condone the use of ad hominem arguments (attacking the credentials of one's opponent), I do think pointing out what this man does
as a profession is warranted in this instance.
