ribit,
re: "They have a vested interest in promulgating that which is untrue."
What you've said is true in SOME cases. With SOME of the boardmembers. Like you, I can tell which boardmembers have high IQs and are knowingly pushing falsehoods. But some of the others just DON'T have too much upstairs. You can figure out at least SOME of whom I'm speaking.
These people need to have things explained, over and over and over again. They're not pushing an agenda, they just don't know any better. There *IS* some hope that such people can go from fatted leaches to productive human beings . . . one day.
I like to think there is, anyway.
