Who is this magical third party that will make everything ok for you?
im not stating that because this specific doctor is from harvard that he's biased. im simply stating that we (at least on this board) dont have his background info and purpose for this study. if he ends up being unbiased and doing the research just for the sake of research, then so be it. i have no problems with it. like i said, i never claimed to dislike or disagree. i just wont believe it until i know more.

you're amusing sometimes. over-the-top responses are humorous.....sometimes. but, to your credit, i bet you are a good speaker. reading all your past posts/threads, whether i agree or not, i can say that you make it easier for people to join your side of the issue. but then again, a lot of self-proclaimed preachers/evangelists also have the same techniques and character as you.
