Too much mercury.

I guess I'll take option B

Gloves off. goody. , as you don't bother to URL me to any more

explicit answers. I'm just supposed to accept your sage judgments, based on a 25 year black box with your self-interested labeling of the ingredients(which include mercury -- bad sign).

A URL to a professional code of ethics? I wouldn't do that, even to you ;)

You've made some serious allegations, one might even say attempts at character assassination vis-à-vis Kay. But when pressed, you fall back on elliptical remarks and wry wit.

I've never met Kay and know nothing of his character. I only know the choices he has made. And if he was not asking to be taken very, very, very, very seriously as a voice of vision on matters of education and our children, I'd probably just be getting a kick out of his suped up graphics stuff. I would only be assassinating Kay's character if I accused him of actual conflict. I am not. The point is that this is a serious enough matter, and his claims of insight into these matters encompassing enough, that I should not be in a position where I have to give those kinds of matters a moment's thought. *He* has chosen to put me in a position where, as an adult, I cannot reasonably do otherwise. I quite rightly and reasonably resent that. Overexposure to mercury must have the effect of making one's common sense grotesquely large. Freakish common sense. Something one learns to live with, evenutally. Art
