"I would trust an abortionist to perform a circumcision on my first born before believing word one coming from the PETA types."
Yeah, but reports of elevated mercury have come not only from the animal rights queers but also from Japanese sources that have no dog in the fight, which is why I accord them credibility.
I always try to ask, "Does this person stand to gain anything by reporting this?" when evaluating the credibility of a report.
BTW, my boys are not circumcised, nor will any son of mine ever be.
