Yeh, I know there's a whole lot of woo out there, and much of it comes from silly folk superstitions. A little common sense can usually separate the wheat from the chaff

But far more woo comes from the Third Way, and Corporate HQ, when they need to sell the public on their products. At one time, cigarettes were "physician tested and approved", and marijuana had no medicinal value. It was "science", damn it! Corporate HQ has the money and motive to sell their woo through by hiring "experts" to back their propaganda for profit.
