It is impossible to comment without a specific. Can you use an example? Or
several to explain your point of professors from the SW's view on left and
right?

Very odd comment, but it doesn't surprise me. Ad hominum attack such as
that, is the trademark of those who do not have an actual criticism but are
desperately trying to stop the challenge to their beliefs.
Those of us who constantly question extremes on both sides of the spectrum
are used to taking a great deal of criticism. We know that the greatest fear
the extremists have is to be challenged. And often to quote their own words.
Typically, they are not challenged and can say anything they want with
impunity (First Amendment right). The internet tends to magnify that because
they are not filtered as much as they once were. But on open forums such as
this one, when farmers and companies are under attack, some of us will stand
up to those extreme views.
As far as my Native American heritage, few know about it, and no one would
ever guess it as the percentage of Cherokee is only a couple of points:)

I did not find much solid information, but found a lot of attacks toward the
majority view. I would not characterize Mr. Krebs as having a good
understanding of the world we live in. But I can tell you one thing, he is
not a happy person.

Are others finding her report on hormones in poultry? I had read some of the
articles earlier but did not find this. Maybe I missed it?
