"balance" is all too often a false ideal. Sometimes one point of view is 
right and one is wrong. Facts should not be balanced by fiction.

If the TAG believes something to be true, they should state that belief 
and be prepared to defined their belief. It is their job to be right, 
not to be liked by both sides equally.

I do believe one side in this debate is out of touch with reality. I 
think in a few years it will be obvious which one it was.
