  I think Pew is getting advice from bad people, perhaps even people within 
  the organization.  send Michael Caudill-whatever (the head of "Making

  by unbiased scientists.

  WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!?!?!
  Can anyone 
    suggest a way to fight this?  Ask pew to fund 
    counter-research? Anybody have any ideas how to do this?
