EH - 23 Precaution

As the Commission interprets the precautionary principle, it is a free pass for the arbitrary political and administrative use of statistical data about everything and everybody

Doctor Lenny has railed against the precautionary principle several times, especially when NGOs get involved. Frank Van Dun points out the absurdity of attempting science in the background context of governance. The principle translates to me as - if we dont know, not only will we bury our heads in the sand, but you must bury your head in sand too. Who is included in the we is what the battle of life is about. Right now, i don't see too many scientists or clergy serious about the political arena. too bad.
