That's disgusting, and sad. The thing is that people always hear just what they want to hear, and won't countenance any info that doesn't fit with their world view. And (without trying to crawl up on the soapbox) some politicians are way too eager to capitalize on people's fears, and it's in their best interests to keep those people as uninformed and misinformed as possible.

We've had several town meetings and I remember a group of elderly people walking through the door asking what do you want me to say when they were approached by reps from the drilling company. They were handed a speech to read and a sticker to wear that read "yes" for gas drilling.
