  • "it's better to look at the facts than to suppress them in service to ideology or politics."

  • could we agree then that the denunciation campaigns that accompany any discussion of whatever facts there are are a bad thing

  • @ Dick

    Um, I really don't know who "suppresses" evidence a la global warming. I'm perfectly willing to examine the evidence, I've asked for it at least 3 times now. You're the one who who says "there's all this evidence, but I'm not going to discuss it." Very convenient.
