Alternatives

April 4th, 2008 · Posted by Skuds in Life · No Comments · Life

A nice quote I came across yesterday about alternative medicine, alternative religion, alternative diets and all the other alternatives:

It’s a good thing for people to examine an alternative , but dissatisfaction with the norm can also panic people into falling into love with the first philosophical piece of tail that falls upon their inward eye.  I think that there can only be one alternative  creed for a life sensibly lived and that the proper alternative to all your alternatives is.. wait for it…  SCIENCE!!!

The author?  Graham Chapman from Monty Python in an essay in the book Calcium Made Interesting, which touches on fascism, hippies, Bob Geldof, tabloid journalism, and AIDS

  • Comments from anyone who is unknown (ie who has not commented before) will go into a moderation queue to be approved. This is to prevent spam/advertising comments and there may be a delay before such comments appear.
  • As far as possible I will not reject moderated comments or delete published comments, even if I disagree with them or if they are criticising me.
  • I intend only to delete/reject comments which are offensive, racist, homophobic, sexist or similar or if they are in any way illegal/libellous.
  • If you think a comment meets those criteria and I might have missed it, let me know.
  • Although technically I am able to edit comments I will not do so unless it is to remove embedded code which is causing problems.
  • If it is ever necessary to edit a comment it will be made clear that it has been edited.
  • Certain words in comments will cause the whole comment to be automatically consigned to the dustbin (Aavaisha, hmmegatest, cognitive, phentermine, xanax, pharmacy, viagra, vicodin, casino, ultram, tamiflu, valium, tramadol, levitra, carisoprodol) for obvious reasons.
