Doesn't help that we have thinks like Kato, which are bought and paid 
for by the same people, and "do" have scientists (of the sort that sold 
out for lots of money, to lie for the corporate world). Since the 
public, and even a fair number of representatives, don't comprehend why 
corporate paid think tanks are a bad thing, and shouldn't be the "go to" 
people when figuring out what is factual...
