* "In the end, whether the drug companies have successfully called their opponents' bluff won't be measured by AIDS, which is certain to fester." [http://www.aegis.org/news/wsj/2001/WJ010501.html]
* Prius fans might do the planet more good by convincing the American Public of the merits of nuclear energy, the closest thing to a genuinely "green solution" to energy challenges in the real world." [http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/12/more_prius_humo.php] "That man-made carbon dioxide has a net planetary warming effect is an important hypothesis, one that science can make stronger or weaker, but can't prove. It may be true, but a layperson only has to look into the antecedents of today's "consensus" to realize it wouldn't be too surprising if tomorrow's consensus were that CO2 is cooling, or neutral, or warming here and cooling there."
