Re: Regarding 'money & herbs'... Re: "When science cannot be questioned..."

 I personally think that it is the height of absurdity, not to mention downright harmful, for anyone to set themselves up as ultimate authorities here.  Especially so when they demand scientific proof (which we don't owe them to begin with)

Actually you are wrong about this.  The whole premise of DEBATE is to take a position and to back your position with EVIDENCE.  To just claim other people are wrong because you think they are is not debate, it is game playing.

It's one thing to be skeptical and engage in discussions on a topic one does not agree with or understand, but,  no matter how much someone might help otherwise, repeatedly naysaying everything except one's own truth likely turns many more people away from help they might otherwise have gotten and silences the opinions and questions of others who do not want to subject themselves to the kind of responses they have too often seen here.

So according to your rational anything should go.  We should allow people to sell bottles of alcohol as the cure for whatever ails you.  And Coca Cola should put cocaine back in their drink so they can sell it as a health tonic again.  Why bother with studies that prove these things are safe and effective.  Hell, as long as it makes you feel good it must be good and healthy according to DQ and the other LF supporters.
