yeah, i thought the above was a good one...until i saw this one:

http://news.sciencemag.org/policy/20...ist-requesting

science is partisan?!
this reminds me of the good old days, when fossil fuel companies fought the removal of lead from gasoline. paid scientists to say the evidence showed nothing to worry about.... lead is a naturally occurring substance, how could it be bad? they asked. hell, even the ancient romans knew the stuff could be bad--but plenty more peasants to take the places of those who died in the lead mines. lead was right there, easy to mine, easy to use....who cared if it was deadly to a few?

oh,and speaking of lead.....it's still in aviation fuel, and is the leading cause of lead in the environment.
