    Just an FYI: Try not to confuse accurate data with Politics. Politics is one's reaction to data, not the data itself.

        the only fear I've seen in politicians is of a loss of wealth or positition.

        I see a lot of politicians reacting to ideology. Facts are only useful when they fit their own ideology.
