This article reminds somewhat on today's John Ransom's article in Townhall.com
The Dishonorable Liberal Order of Regulatory Scientists
Where he writes
I got an email from a reader yesterday that went something like this: "Hey, the American Cancer Society says you're full of it on the link between breast cancer and abortion. Trust me I'm an expert and a scientist, and you're being less than honest. So do us all a favor and shut up and stick to finance."
To which I reply: "Hey, if you're an expert and scientist why are you citing a lobbying orginization like the American Cancer Society? Thanks for proving one of the points in the email/hate mail column."
Thanks, Kas...That’s an excellent example of what Dr. Sowell mentioned, and a good piece by Ransom.
