Not trying to be insulting at all, counselor. On the contrary, I was trying to uncover any biases or prejudices you may have with respect to forming your opinions about ethanol which seemed to me too overtly vitriolic for an impartial observer.
Kirkland represents BPAmoco in the MTBE MDL litigation. Your ethanol posts some of your posts about EMFs in the past led me to assume that you work at a corporate defense firm. But I never meant and even now do not mean to be insulting with respect to these-- you might call them "accusations," I'd call them "assumptions." I was wondering only because Upton Sinclair said it best (if a little sexist):
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
