If you want answers to these questions, you should contact the

calling it these days.

What I want is to know why you keep making these claims about certification being the only way to raise ourselves out of the primordial ooze, yet you won't or can't justify its existence.

I'm asking YOU, the great defender of the CMT, certification, formal education, and shoes, to back up your claims.

You canNOT insult 98% of this particular venue with your generalities and then expect the questions not to be turned back on you. You made the claim that:

"MTs in this country are going to remain barefoot, uncertified, with
absolutely no formal education required, and that makes Rae smile.
It makes me sick."

Which part of that statement is the one that makes you sick? That MTs are "going to remain barefoot, uncertified, with absolutely no formal education required" or Rae's smilies?

You stated:

"I have said that I have the CMT to endorse a standard for the work we
do. I think this has value."

So I asked you what value it has and you point me to the AAMT and tell me to carry your water for you. No. If you're going to carry the banner, you can carry your own water and make your case.

Certificatin is sort of like AAMT itself; if not enough MTs back it, we
simply won't have it, that's all.

Guess it doesn't make you sick enough to do anything about it, after all.

Must be nice to be able to appeal to emotion without a shred of intellectually honest remorse.
