Prejudice, not facts (2)

I was very disappointed to read Dr. Mark Dooley's article on Tara.

He is often very sound on solid conservative issues such as gender, the family, abortion and opposition to the "Lisbon Treaty" and has to be praised.

However, in this Tara article he made use of the "Sir" Richard Rich (after the notorious Sir Richard Rich of Thomas more trial infamy) technique of linking extremists with moderate, sane opponents of a project. I believe there are conservative opponents of the Tara project, and it has attracted opposition all over the world, not necessarily from rent-a-cause.

There are, I understand, quite cogent arguments for an easy and inexpensive re-routing.

Zero points to Dr. Dooley for his intemperate attack on Tara.
