Reply #16: Fools and their money...

[Interrobang]

Being of a slightly libertarian streak, I have no problem if various idiots want to spend their money on tap water that's been waved by a periodic table a couple of times...as long as they're not sick with something infectious that's going to infect me if they don't have it treated with regular old allopathic medicine (that, by the way, uses the Scientific Method, only the best tool we've yet discovered for learning how the world works!). After all, I (and the rest of us) have already paid for the regular kind with my tax dollars; if they want to throw good money after bad, well, that's their problem.

As to the "good results" you can get with homeopathy or any other similar treatment for certain things, well, the placebo effect is really quite amazing, isn't it? Too bad organic pathogens never heard about it...
