Mo Trauen commented on Evey's blog post 'A week or so ago, I was asked a question:'"Evey,

Kenneth Montville D.D. commented on Evey's blog post 'A week or so ago, I was asked a question:'"First off, I don't need to show that all claims are false when issuing a warning against using any source without doing your own research.
