Well then. This is a radical statement that no one else in this thread has made so far. You've actually openly supported the suppression of true, but politically inconvenient, research results. Your political cause is not so just and so right that it trumps free inquiry. This is essentially the argument of the religious zealot, attempting to dictate to science what it can and cannot investigate for fear that it will tread on cherished beliefs. You do not get to suppress scientific data because the data can be misused by your political opponents. It's really unfortunate that you and others think this is justifiable.
... Screw it, this is, as usual, pointless and totally depressing. Cliff, best of luck here. I do hope someone takes the time to watch - or at least start watching and see if they want to keep going - that Dreger talk up there.
