As a medical person, I too am appalled by this.I have spoken out repeatedly about my concerns and sometimes get blank stares, but by in large the groups I worked with really had grave concerns about govt. manipulation of data.
My problem as well. I used to argue with certain politicos at a luncheon I go to on a regular basis. But they are so stupid and so ill informed I don't waste my time any more. The way they worship people on msnbc and elsewhere is amazing. How can anyone be that stupid?
