Nobody proposes to silence either messenger.



Again, read Barbara Boxer's comment on the subject. Silencing
opposition is precisely what she proposed. And being an active
officer in the US Government, that raises some very serious 1st

legislative motion to specifically silence those who don't sign on
to the agenda.

This is contrary to scientific discourse, debate and process.
