Bad science shows up in
KBRA, spotted owl
Klamath Falls Herald and News
Letter to the Editor
October 17, 2010
What is it with people who do not understand the difference between fact and fiction when it comes to science, political candidates or the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement?
The damage caused to our community, this state and the nation by individuals claiming to know more than they do is self-evident.
Recent examples of misapplication of science for political gain include the Air Quality Management District of California that overstated smog quantity by 340 percent, causing Californians untold billions of dollars and lost jobs from false science.
Another example: The spotted owl fiasco that destroyed Oregon’s logging industry. Mismanagement of local water resources that have left many of our neighbors looking at bankruptcy of family farms.
Did I forget the false
scientific data of global warming?
I, for one, have become extremely annoyed with progressive liberal Democrat mindset of falsifying science and economic theory for personal and political gain.
The choice in this election for voters is choosing between candidates who understand what is real and attainable vs. those who pretend to know what is good for all of us. The choice is between candidates who will listen to us and those who want to control us.
I would rather vote for local candidates like Dennis Linthicum, Bill Garrard, Kathy Nowaski and other conservatives who have solid business experience and proven conservative values than self-serving liberal candidates.
Dennis understands the
difference between science and opinion. Dennis understands cost
benefit analysis.
Dennis will listen to the community and make political decisions based on facts and consensus. Compare Dennis to Kirk Oakes, who proudly tells his audiences that he is a card-carrying member of the ACLU, Sierra Club and is for the KBRA dam removal. Oakes’ values are not my values. I want realistic pragmatic women and men in public office, not philosophers and theorists.
