Dear ESA, The debate about appropriate referee measures is very interesting but whether IJCR is editor or peer reviewed it will still be spreading a complete fallacy in a scientific format that is confusing to the public.
I still think this merits being addressed directly as a specific issue by the ESA and its membership. Is the ESA willing to put forth a small amount of effort to draft a letter and address this issue officially or should we just accept the abysmal failure of public education in this country as insurmountable? Come on guys, put up a fight! We are standing by idly while the American public is pummeled with well financed lies. Several people have suggested that doing nothing is advisable. Well, that's what we have been doing and the results are dismal. Can we please try a different tact now? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/bigphotos/21329204.html Sincerely, Jim Sparks "Quis custodiet ipso custodes?" -Juvenal -- James L. Sparks Jr. M.Sc.
