Stephan: If you ever see something that is not factually correct in SR please write me, and send me your source for thinking that. The terms I use, I believe are accurate based on objectively verifiable data. I have but one priority, fostering wellbeing at every level. I just try to tell the factual truth, the terms I use are factually accurate, and not cloaked. I am not interested in partisan politics except anthropologically.
