Just imagine what the current debate about funding for the Montana Meth Project would look like if a Montana newspaper had ever bothered to write a single story like this one, in the Idaho Statesman. It (imagine the concept!) covers both sides, presenting an even-handed look at the program. This is just good journalism, a story that actually informs its readers and lets them make a decision about the merits of the program.
Fascinating to see that the Idaho Meth Project people have adopted the same strategy to smear critics, though:
Ronk said she was familiar with the findings of Erceg-Hurn’s study.
"From my perspective, I think there were some things they missed," she said, but did not provide any details.
Lori Otter said Erceg-Hurn took a "very narrow view of a very broad subject without looking at the complete picture."
"Do I think it’s valid?" she said. "No."
If that isn’t scientific proof, I don’t know what is.

Awesome, Montana DOES not Care About METH.. EurekaMontanaNews.com
After looking at you blog, I was thinking the articles you write is a plus! I will be very much like your articles. I bookmarked your site! I trust you’ll behave better any further.
I think this has gotta be some form of evolution trait to better understand what type of individual someone is. Whether they are out to get food, if they are mean, an enemy. Most people would would need this knowledge how to deal to them.

Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.
