So much for scientific objectivity when it comes to a politically and
emotionally heated issue. Never let fact or fiction get in the way of a
charged presupposition or preconception. Snake oil for one is a tasty
treat to another.
Of course, the key word is "some." It is not synonomous with "all."
Alas, if people just would cooperate and not be complex or complicated.
Make it a good day.
