:lol: I think you just proved Mr William's point pk.
ok, like patty, im not going to get into a debate over this. been there done that. Its getting old, and there is way to many millions involved now to ever reverse course on this issue.
(brb, smoke break)
i would just like to point out that many many people have known positively that the reports were falsified ( the scientists are on public record saying they were paid to find those results)and they( anti smoking activists) went ahead and push legislation through based using it as a justification anyways. unfortunitly i don't have a copy to post here, wouldn't matter if i did, people are going to believe what they want anyways.
(brb, smoke break)
i dont think the issue here is really smoking, this could be involving anything. if you give me enough money i could even come up with a report that says eating with a spoon causes cancer. i mean they did already prove that pot makes you gay, and milk is bad for you didnt they?
(brb, smoke break)
!!down with the filthy spoon eaters!! everyone should be allowed to eat with their fingers in peace from now on. join our national organization at soupslurpers.r.us!!
first were going to save Madison from the spoons people, then its on to Washington. where we plan to prove that the country should be spoon free. for the grand finally we plan to push forward with our master plan of declaring all members of the cult of the spork as terrorist. yeah. thats it.

ok, enough joking around. i think the real issue is really bad science and the fact that a whole socioeconomic movement is based on it. this one issue may be in not only national but also the worldwide conscience at the moment. but there are many others that fly below the radar of the average citizen that also affect their day to day life.( have you ever looked at the list of things that are a health hazard, it list just about everything including air)
So here's my rant, accountants and activists should never be allowed full access to the scientists themselves. they should be working with out funding concerns or who is going to be using their studies to justify one view or another. the entire scientific community has somehow put itself up for sale and this has caused many distorted reports to be published. what makes me wonder though is that the next generation will build upon established data, and if that data is corrupt than what? then even the purest of intentions will create nothing but more corrupt data.
(brb, coffee break. lol i bet ya thought i would say smoke didnt ya.)
Its my personal opinion that this is why AIDS and some forms of cancer haven't been cured yet. its all about who is funding the study, not about what the study is supposed to be about.
if you dont believe me, then maybe i should fund a study to prove it. :roll:
