[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 140746, member: 1640"] I am amazed at how much paranoia there is on this thread. I know the government can be biased when it comes to investigations, just look at the fiasco know as the "Benghazi investigations." They became an endless money drain and the laughing stock of late night and cable comedy for a reason. And they are the comedy gift that just keeps on giving. Except the tin foil hats actually think there is a "there" there. But the point is, government is not some nameless "them." Government, for better or worse is us. Benghazi investigations and all. In a democracy we get exactly the government we deserve. Right now "truth" is only understood in partisan terms for the vast majority of Americans. That means that whatever I see as the truth can only be challenged by someone who is nefarious, devious and deliberately trying to stop the truth for financial gain. The most partisan among us always accuse the other side of doing the very thing that we are completely oblivious to if it supports our beliefs. I have enjoyed this thread whenever it has simply dealt with the science. When ideological presuppositions get mixed into responses as if they are incontrovertible fact it gets very tedious. [/QUOTE]
