Otto,

I simply provide facts which I can, and do, support with valid evidence.   What anyone does with these facts is entirely up to them, however, it is my firm belief that citizens need, and have a right to, accurate facts and information on which to base rational decisions.  

When I want a plumber, I want one who is appropriately educated, trained, and knowledgeable enough to provide me with the proper information and recommendations for which I have hired him to do.   Having little knowledge of plumbing, I would not assume that I knew more than this specialist in his field, simply because I had been fed misinformation from unqualified persons who oppose his recommendations for their own, personal reasons.  

When PA needs recommendations on appropriate structure for a bridge which your family will frequently cross, to whom do you wish your leaders to listen, engineers who are specialists in bridge structure, or to the "fluoride action network"?
