U.S. Scientists Say They Are Told to Alter Finding

tree3075 writes "The LA Times is reporting that a survey by the Union of Concerned Scientists and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility has found hundreds of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service scientists have been instructed to change findings to favor business interests. I'm not surprised anymore when I read these things."

  1. Easy to point the finger. by yotto · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm writing this from a house that is made from a lot of wood, sitting on land that used to be the home of some animals who now get hit crossing the street. It would be easy for me to point my finger at "industry" and say they're wrong, but would I be willing to give up my house, land, and paved roads to my job? I don't think so.

    Point #1: Yes I agree.

    Point #2: Secretaries are not elected, they are chosen to the cabinet by the president. And you try and convince all the dumbass rednecks wh have been systematically bred that we shouldn't elect a president because he likes God. All Bush ever had to do was be like "I love Jesus" and he won all the blind sheep in this country.

    Religion is for believing, not for voting. I'll stop now before this incited a flame war but just know that about 49.9% of Americans aren't happy with the President and the country...and about another 48% of Americans "don't understand why the country is so screwed up with that wonderful God-loving Bush in the White House"...

    The other 1% are rich because they own stock in oil companies.

    The fact that this AC was modded insightful speaks to everything that is wrong with this forum.

    Are you a pro, knob washer?

    That just doesn't seem polite.
