"... I distinctly remember seeing and hearing a women in a news report leading upto the launch saying they 'had embarked on a campaign on misinformation' to get NASA's attention. How can you expect people to make a decision on an issue when they're being lied to? As much as I support environmental concerns and issues, enviromental groups are notoriously loose with scientific facts - thanks in part to the public's disinterest and ignorance of science."
Unfortunately, they are hardly alone in that regard. It was Dean Acheson -- remembered as being one of the more enlightened Secretaries of State -- who said that the government frequently has the obligation to make things "clearer than the truth" to the voters in order to get their support for its Enlightened Policies. |
