-
- =o= On the contrary, a view that prompts one to pull facts
- out of context and rearrange them so as to thoroughly
- misrepresent the truth is all too conventional. Beckmann
- has consistently applied such a view to both environmental
- issues and organizations.
-
- =o= Indeed, he attempted to do so in this very forum. He
- was stupid enough to try to refute something I'd asserted
- from a source by extracting a sentence fragment from that
- same source. (Needless to say, everything surrounding that
- fragment told quite the opposite story.)
-
- =o= Don't take my word for it; read Beckmann's book, _The_
- _Health_Hazards_of_NOT_Going_Nuclear_. (Don't waste your
- hard-earned money on it, though -- get it out of a library.)
- You'll see that his "not entirely conventional" views don't
- come across much differently from the utter dredges of the
- Usenet's worst flaming.
