I saw his response on Facebook. He's just a local DJ in a small town in Ohio. He, and some other tv and radio personalities, I've caught making mistakes or personal comments that contradicts common scientific knowledge. Sometimes when I hear such things, being an educator, I feel it responsible to "educate" the individual. Many times I never hear a response, but at least I made an attempt. This one kind of got under my skin with his "dodging the subject" and it felt like trying to reason with a child having a tantrum. As someone had mentioned earlier of the analogy of wrestling with a pig, I think it best to let it go and try to stay "clean".
