The area we need to develop is internally. Our problems are not so much outside as inside - negativae minds and views etc. I trust a science that develops the mind not the external world. <strong>jb says</strong>: Nice to hear from you, but the inner life doesn't account for everything either. We live in the world, are it's current custodians, and nothing ever gets better by setting things apart. I don’t really trust science because the motivation is often negative or just plain ignorant.

It could have been a more nuanced humble exploration of ideas. <strong>jb says</strong>: Ah, Pearl, what could have been, eh? Hm, that’s too bad.

These 'enlightened' thinkers are following money and throwing their knickers to the wind in pursuit of a good night out. The reason they are attacking homeopathy and all things 'heretical' is because the pharmaceutical companies do find us a threat. A very big threat. There is a recent report the WHO attempted to suppress, illustrating how homeopathy could save the NHS millions (yes millions). These 'great minds' represent the people who are attempting to ban homeopathy from the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital in Great Ormond Street (yes you did hear me correctly) because - well because the building is worth a great deal and they want it for 'orthodoxy' and they will resort to any tactic to get it. So they wheel out the 'big guns' and behave like the reincarnated inquisitors they really are. Thank you for your sane comments.
