Subject: RE: BS: Boring science stuff we all believe...
Ooh-Ahh, you certainly are the one who is fixated on the airy fairy New Age stuff (along with Pied Piper). I've never read any of the stuff you're talking about. You can read stuff written by scientists who are charlatans as well. That doesn't make all scientists charlatans.

On the subject of the doctor thing, many doctors are attracted to the subject of illness. And it's a damn good thing they are. Otherwise, aside from the financial remuneration (which is not always top notch), there wouldn't be much incentive for people to go into that field. It's terribly hard work, and you have to do a lot of very unpleasant things. If people weren't attracted to that subject, there would probably be far fewer doctors than there are now. And there are barely enough to go around as it is.

I was being humourous when I said what I did about doctors in my previous post, but it's also true from a logical standpoint. If there were no need for doctors, there would be no doctors. That's just logic.
