Someone has to pay for the work..........
Would you rather see testing results from a group that is funded by the US Government or some group that is private and accepts donations?
Just look at the history of the EPA, FDA and NOAA concerning the Gulf Spill.........
My project testing rain samples due to the Gulf Spill could have been funded by grants from BP and the US Government.......We were approached to be
funded...........But we knew that if we accepted grant money "they" could control the results..........And that was stated in the "agreements" with
BP.........
So we accepted donations and did it privately.........Did the donations cover our cost?......NO!!..........Did that skew our results?
NOT ONE BIT!!
And we had a couple members here on ATS just like you who bashed us on every turn for accepting donations......As if it was a "get rich"
scheme.............
This whole donation issue is crap........and holds no teeth whats so ever............
If you choose not to accept Fairewinds credentials………..that’s your call…….
But the donations issue is BS……….
Everything cost money…….and everyone has bills……….even ATS………..
That’s why we have all these F** ing ads everywhere………
