    Way to start out with an ad hominem. Cheap too. Since you’re ‘certain’ (and I know very well that’s hard to come by for this sacred cow), your #1 reference?

      If I called you stupid that would have been an ad hominem attack, I’m saying you’re misrepresenting facts which would require intelligence. Therefore, disingenuous.

        Poor governor of Georgia, one more in a long, long line.

        I learned much of what I know about how facts are misrepresented by reading advertisements by the industry. Like the full-page regional newspaper ad along the lines of "One myth about nuclear power is … instead the fact is this … " back in the 1970s. Or my all-time favorite fact, one of the earliest: Safe, clean, ‘too cheap to meter’, said AEC chairman Lewis Strauss, in 1954.

        Maybe it was catching? But the facts, like those countless millions of escaped curies, were invisible. Convenient.
