I've noticed a trend with 'skeptics' here, a behaviour that exhibits low inhibition in ascribing the foulest of motives to those who challenge the status quo. Venom is directed towards the individuals, the mavericks, who buck the system. It's like skeptics don't want to believe the story from the maverick point of view ; they prefer the safety of the incumbent, institutional view, despite evidence. Yes, despite evidence. The evidence is simply not believed, is dismissed and mindlessly swatted at as one would a persistent fly at a picnic.
It's a choice, really, to besmirch people that you don't even know, based on second or third hand information from parties often having a vested interest against such people and their ideas.
The true skeptic will not mindlessly swat at the fly; he will carefully note what the fly is after. And when he realizes that the fly is attracted to a collection of rotten meat that the picnic attendees have been putting into their sandwiches, it's time to declare the company picnic over and admit there is a problem.
There is a problem in physics today, and certain individuals like Randell Mills are trying to fix it. There is a problem in our environment today that is causing autism, and certain individuals like Andrew Wakefield are trying to fix it. I try to understand such individuals and in understanding them I have come to admire them.
I know most 'skeptics' here won't bother, but on the chance there is a real skeptic here, who is as skeptical of the corporate funded mainstream media view as he is of the maverick, here's a recent video of Andrew Wakefield being interviewed and explaining himself. And that is all I will be saying on this matter, thank you.
