This is the companion thread to Scientists against DU - A list to grow.
As I plow on through all the DU information that I come across, it becomes more clear all tha time that a wide range of informed people are on the record as opposing the use of DU weapons, or at least, the indiscrimant use of them that prevails.
Everyone is impressed by scientific credentials, such is the power of the temple of Science upon which modern society stakes its moral claim to rightousness. But it has become clear to me that another breed of DU opposer might have a modicum of clout as well. That would be journalists. Perhaps (hopefully) there will soon be a need for a list of celebrities against DU.
Clearly, non-PhD.-holding anti-DU "activists" such as myself and the intrepid Leuren Moret, who dislikes me and to whom I could never hold a damp squip, are not worthy of intellectual respect in the eyes of society's information managers, well, most of them, so we don't need a list. But I made one here anyway.
