Non-U.S. rfc-ers may not be aware that the conflict between the CSPI
and the ACSH is sadly typical of the current American political
landscape. That is, the CSPI is a "liberal" organization, generally
very skeptical of corporate practices and motives and in favor of
oversight and regulation, while the ACSH is a "conservative"
organization, generally very skeptical of government and regulation.
They fight with one another about just about everything except tobacco,
and whatever actual science supports the position of either group gets
quickly lost in ideological rhetoric. -aem
