You say that we should work with legitimate scientists, look at what Rodda did. He is a legitimate scientist that has his own agenda. We all know that burms can never live in DC or California, but he said they could and most people believe it. I have had people quote the map that he drew. I tell them that his data is flawed and they reply by saying "but he's the expert, now you now more than the experts"



We need to work on finding our own experts (legitimate scientists) that will testify on our behalf in these meeting, that will write papers and draw maps that are unbiased. Our grass roots uprising is working and we need to continue the fight, but I fear that in the end the powers that be will defer to the "experts". I know there are many scientists and vets that are on our side, we need some of them to step up and help us out so that when they do defer to the experts we still have a voice.
