From the web "news" http://www.space.com/news/ap_050520_space_weapons.html<br /><br />How can you give any “scientific” credence to the scientifically irresponsible “Union of Concerned Scientists”. An organization which advises its members, “Your main purpose is to advocate, not to educate.”<br /><br />The UCS is a left-wing, eco-extremist, anti-defense, anti-nuclear, anti-chemical, and anti-business. An internet search associates them with groups like Greenpeace (noted for enviro-terrorism), Natural Resources Defense Council, Mothers for Natural Law (that’s sounds like a scientific group!), and Students for a Democratic Society. (SDS was the terrorist organization responsible for bombing the U.S. Capitol Building in 1971.)<br /><br />The UCS was formed in 1969 to protest America’s involvement in the Vietnam war and it only takes $25 to become a member. There are no requirements for a scientific degree, scientific training, or even a scientific background. In fact, only 10% of the members are scientists.<br /><br />Yet you label them “A scientists’ group” when they should be labeled a “whacko-environmentalist, anti-war group.” Giving them credence on your website is an insult to anyone with any degree whatsoever.<br /><br />I think I will start a group and call my group “Concerned Association of Scientists and Engineers”, I will sell memberships at McDonald’s and on cereal box tops. Then I will publish some statement opposed to some evil of the government to the liberal press (like ABC or Newsweek) and another statement to the conservative presses about the evils of communism or socialism. I can see it now, “A major Scientific and Engineering organization has published concerns about the lack of Health Care in American society.” and “A major Scientific and Engineering organization has published concerns about the effects of socialism on the welfare of society.”<br /><br />I understand that
