Theories and hypotheses can be tested. In the waning days of the American Civil War, Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman marched through Georgia on his way to the Atlantic coast, burning everything in his path, starting with the city of Atlanta. In 1996, Jeanette Sherman marches to the Junk Science Hall of Shame, burning everything in her path, including science, logic, and common sense. Sherman states that birth defects of the central nervous system occur at a rate of about 2 to 4 per 1,000 live births. Look for more and more of this type junk as the rush is on to cash in on endocrine disrupter research while it's hot.
