Heheh, we have had ample demonstration that Kumar cannot recognize reality if it kicks him in the balls.

You know something, Hans? That isn't the half of it.
I got a "D" in high school chemistry, and yet, as I read what Kumar had to say, even someone like me could recognize that it was utter bulls***. Add to this what Rolfe is going through, (and BSM's rather brilliant post on that same thread), and there is no frigging way anyone with his head clear of his anus could help but note that homeopathy is not only quackery, it is lethal.
I'm reminded of some posts directed to me from David Wilson, who told me that I ought to eat lots of fruit. I love fruit. I love grapefruit, oranges, apples, grapes, mangoes, you name it, I like it. The only problem is, that if I eat it, my blood sugars begin to skyrocket. I'm already having problems with my blood sugar, and numbnutz wanted me to eat something that would make things worse?
See, the big problem here is that there are too many people with more money than brains. We figure that as long as there's no active harm being done to someone, everything's okay. Unfortunately, you're dealing with passive harm being done, primarily because effective action needs to be taken, and it isn't. It's a greater cruelty, actually, because people think they're really doing something for someone else, or for themselves, and in reality, they are killing the patient, and doing it slowly.
California is investigating licensing homeopaths. (I'm not sure if that's happened, yet, but the last word I heard was that ultimately, it's going to happen.) This is a horrible idea, which will result in more people dying, rather than people being healed. These people don't need to be licensed, they need to be banned. This is idiocy. I watched my sister-in-law suffer needlessly at the hands of a quack, with his vitamin treatments and the like, and ultimately, it cost her the ability to have children. She's sterile because of this barbarity.
Kumar's gone? Good riddance.
