Do you really think there is a process where people sit around and say this is dangerous we need to pick a name from the dangerous process list. And hell if it were a real conspiracy wouldn't they instead pick a name like flower puppying so as to fool all the brilliant ecoidiots who base their beliefs on the name of the process instead of science?
Are you serious? Have you never seen an episode of Battlestar Gallactica....or looked up the definition of the word "joke" in the dictionary?

And why was that the only part of my post that you responded to? Did the part about the dollar signs making people look the other way make too much sense? Those lawyers you referenced sound like the ones Erin Brockovich faced in the movie made about her.
