Teri,

 

Thank you. One thing I really appreciate is that you always put things in perspective for us. The main "media" reporters don't bother to do that, so when you read their article, they can scare the pants off you. You don't minimize or sensationalize, and I really do appreciate that.

Liliana,

 

You're welcome, and thank you for your comments.

 

I sometimes wonder if part of the problem with the mainstream media is that they really don't understand what they're writing about. If they don't have any background, don't look at the full journal article, or don't fully understand it, they may not be able to really put it in perspective. Not excusing them. If they don't understand it, they shouldn't write about it. It drives me up a wall to read some of the articles that come out on this kind of information and are so frightening because there's no perspective to them.

 

Thanks again!
Teri
