It is always important to check and make sure that the "scientist" that you're listening to is legit. It is so easy to dress someone up in a white coat, call him "Dr." and convince the masses that he knows what he is talking about. I completely agree.

Who DO you trust for your information? This is a serious question for me as I try to sort out 'the truth' about issues. Activist groups are certainly not objective, The press is often more interested in making something seem exciting, and reporters don't have the background to be accurate, quite often. I trust my friends, but again, they don't always have their facts straight. Objectivity is certainly a big factor in deciding who to trust. Who DO you trust for your information?
