There’s an excellent article by Nick Cohen in The Observer here in which he attacks that pseudoscience, that superstition of the feeble-minded middle class, that utter and complete bolloxology that is homeopathy. As he correctly points out, tolerating this kind of nonsense in public health systems costs lives.
Readers of Spanish can have a laugh with the fevered jabberings of various members of the Buenos Aires chattering classes trying to defend it here. It goes to show how vicious the mentally short-winded tend to get when you try to point out to them that homeopathic “medicine” is about as likely to do them good as smearing hummus on their genitals while singing “The Wild Mountain Thyme”.
