Amen.

But then you remove the poster child.

That is really the cause of all the heat directed mostly toward Jerry and
slightly toward the study.

There have been movies made about CCD; websites dedicated to its cause;
organizations and people tied their agendas to CCD. Their problem is they
put al their eggs in the CCD basket and did not take the rational approach
of looking only at pesticide poisoning as a separate problem. Had they been
rational, they would have found an audience.

Now, by trying to demonize the study and Jerry, their credibility has gone
down the toilet.
