Oh there are some, such as House Minority Leader Del. Anthony J. ODonnell (R-Dist. 29C) of Lusby, who told staff writer C. Benjamin Ford last week regarding the human factor: Its a theory right now and were waiting to see. I dont believe the science is settled.

Who cares? Most reasonable, sane and rational people, ...thankfully.
