I think we are saying the same thing. I do not intend a bunch to mean the majority. It is only the bad apple in the bushel. If I came across any other way, I apologize.

It's just a loud, disenfranchised minority, from my point of view, that grab headlines and put silly ideas into people's heads. The public is ignorant on many levels, but blaming scientists and the institutions they work for, en masse, is a mistake. On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 11:39 AM, Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com>wrote:
I return to my original premise. For the public to hold science in higher esteem there needs to be more integrity, transparancy, understanding, truth, or all of the above - whatever you want to call it. Right now the public sees a bunch of bad science and lumps all science in the same category.
