Not too surprised to learn about this………. Sick of reading articles in our local newspapers about the autism “epidemic”. What they fail to mention is that more testing in the schools results in more cases. Also, in theory following this logic there is a Learning Disabilities epidemic, a Mental Retardation epidemic, etc. What is causing this “poi”?

The ay Deth changed his tune between his correspondence to Kathleen and the Governor, sounds like with Kathleen, he was Deth Evader.

DoC, could you email me?

Perhaps he has research in the Banzai “Pipeline”?

One has to wonder why he hasn’t published since the methionine synthase thing.

Did Deth take a Holiday?

Kev - I agree, the overstatements appear to be quite common.

NM - Looks that way to me too, but I could be wrong.

Joseph - I’m sure they’ll have that opportunity for detailed explanation in USCFC.

Deth Surf - I agree with your first question and wonder the same. I don’t know anything about Deth’s publication record or NIH funding. I’m sure there is a little more conviction or belief on Deth’s part, in what he seems to be promoting, than simple need for a paycheck or for community support. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily make his claims in the letter any more correct than my fruit juice example, at this point.

How is it the Haole could, in good conscience, Dole out his Pilau theory as fact to people who might respect someone simply because they're a professor. Even a prof with a sub-par publication record and a penchant for losing NIH funding because of the publication record. Hmmmm... I can't get NIH money anymore so let me go be a Wahine ho'okamakama to SafeMinds and CAN. chranzlayshun fun

More than overstating, there’s a pattern of lack of honesty that’s very clear in all these guys. You’d hope that they come forward and explain themselves, but they never ever do.

It seems odd that so many ‘main-landers’ would feel the need to respond to the Hawaiian Governor’s veto. I think, as you say, this has more to do with citing state level bans as evidence of harm.

Speaking of Hawaiians, where’s McCandless in all of this?
