Jay Gee, it is probably due to your being so far from the mainstream that
you have no idea anymore what the middle is about. I am about as middle as
they come. Sure on some issues I am left of center but on some I am right of
center. On most things, I tend to be very open minded and interested in the
truth, knowing full well that the truth is not easy to find and there are
countless agendas out there that one has to sift and winnow through.

Again, you are so far from the middle apparently that you do not see
comments such as the following as being over the top:

These kinds of comments are typical innuendo from a person who themselves
don't know either and are making an ad hominum attack ... a very frequent
tactic of those who can not show facts themselves. We asked for some facts
from Leigh Hauter, but nothing has been forthcoming as of yet. To make the
extreme statements she has made, and then castigate someone else, exposes
her to justifiable criticism from those in the middle view, who more than
anyone, attempt to discern the truth.

> They just don't treat you as some kind of expert.

It had nothing to do about me. It was an attack on marc, or did you forget?
I can not help but notice that in your apparent support for her tactics, you
are following along about the same way and interestingly enough (predictably
enough I should say) you make no substantiation of her claims about hormones
in poultry.

Why is that?

After all, if she is right and the middle of the roaders here are wrong,
wouldn't you think that you would be able to come up with some information
that deals with the truth?

What publicly available information? Just because someone has an opinion
does not make it true. It may be true of course, but it may not be. That is
why we middle of the roaders constantly have to sift and winnow to find out
where the truth lies. And it often lies in between the extreme positions.

Sincerely,

Rick Williams
