RAINDROPS: Need the facts, please

| April 29, 2012 9:00 PM

About Cliff Harris’s Article “Those aren’t just raindrops…” on April 23. I enjoyed the article but found little substance.

It was a good scare for all the little old ladies and men retired in our community but you seem to be missing the “What, when, where, how and why” of what is happening. Do not journalists use this system anymore or do you just write to frighten your readers?

These stories have surfaced since the late ‘70s and were hottest during the early ‘80s. It’s always “renowned scientist (fill in your own type here) has discovered… blah, blah, blah.” You also mention a few “renowned” scientists in your article but you failed to mention WHO is or was doing this specifically. What companies are involved, who is making this terrible substance, etc.? Is there anything there besides “he said, she said?” OR, may I ask, is this another of your articles setting up to blame someone or group about all your so-called fictitious “global warming” bunk?

Use your journalism skill and tell us — Who, what, when, where and why. Who knows, I may even start believing you.
