GUEST,Ooh-Aah BS: Boring science stuff we all believe... (365* d) RE: BS: Boring science stuff we all believe... 26 Sep 04


Hello fluffy bunnies! No I'm not in a closet, I'm in Australia, where the times of the day are a bit different. And I do know quite a bit about ley-lines, I have read the seminal work, Alfred Watkins' The Old Straight Track', which I bought in Pushkar, India - how's that for fluffy street-cred? I grew out of it when I was about 18 (hint, hint).

When I used docters as an example to counter Little Hawk's shaky logic I had forgotten that he has a bee in his bonnet about alternative medicine, and thus was able to adroitly fudge the point of logic which (I sincerely hope) he understood full well. Carol C showed the same kind of intellectual dishonesty to win a cheap point: to claim as she does, that docters 'need' illness is like saying that teachers like myself 'need' ignorance; a positve vocation to help others is turned into a negative preying on their weaknes. However the real problem with Carol Cs statement is that doctors are certainly not ATTRACTED to illness itself (I say, that's a lovely case of scrofula you have Mr Smith!), as Little Hawk claims scoffers are attracted to the New Age.

Perhaps I should have said that scoffers are attracted TO the New Age, not BY the New Ageis: as ambulances are attracted to a car crash, or priests to an excorcism. We want to HELP you guys, and stop you harming others with your loony ideas.
