Subject | Corporate Polluters Have Too Loud a Voice! |
Comment | Hello, It is clear from recent history that corporate control of the majority of our country's discourse has taken us a long way from the proper and right discussions we should be having. When we strip away the "parsing," "message control," and "spin" we can have a REAL discussion about the ways in which the nation's largest polluters have abused the environment to their benefit; at the expense of the rest of us! The use of scientific data should inform our discussions on the environment. One would think that with continuing advancements in data collection, and research methodology that the information coming from research would be granted more and more credibility, but it seems that is not the case. Why is this? Moneyed interests speak louder than scientists and a logically thinking and informed citizenry! Sadly, the echo chamber of the media shunts the voices of the scientific community and anyone else who dares oppose the titans of industry into a very quiet corner with a "dunce cap." Please stand up for your citizenry and the scientific community and remember that the voices of industries that pollute should not overwhelm the voices of us who have to live like "canaries in a coal mine." Thank you, Phillip Potter |
