Um...this has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've read on this forum in awhile.
Why don't you go ask Steve Jobs how well that works out? I'll go get the ouija board.
I know what you're saying and as I said, there are allot of con artists out there and that kind of thing must be policed, but are you really suggesting that the government should start banning plants? Should they fine people for drinking chaga or herbal teas or eating ginseng etc... That seems ridiculous to me.
I've no problem with prosecuting parents who through stupidity cause their own children's death with nonsense. I said that the govt should get involved in some instances. What I am referring to is allowing people to do things that they feel are beneficial to them even if you or I feel it's pure stupidity. That is the nature of freedom of choice. People are free to do things you or I think are dumb. Chiropractic is an example of this. Seems like nonsense to me but some people seem to like it. IMO we're free to express our opinion and they are free to do what they want. What part of that do you find ridiculous?
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
