I don't blame most dentists.

I DO blame and loathe those smirking, smarmy ones I read online, defending the use of mercury and mocking anyone who tries to explain how disastrous it is.

But the normal dentist... I don't blame them. They're just ploughing ahead, heedless, but essentially just ignorant.

The ones I blame, the ones I hate, are the ADA types and the moral-less researchers they hire to claim amalgam is safe.

I's analagous to Iraq for me. I don't blame the ordinary soldiers out on patrol. The ones who commit atrocities - yeah, i blame them. But even then, I feel they are somewhat less culpable than the evil people who sent them to war for gain. The administration. The defense contractors. The oil companies. THEY are the true evil ones.

If the ADA turned around and banned amalgam, dentists would happily do the right thing - simply because they're told to. These people are not scientists or thinkers, they're just technicians.
