"I was disappointed in Fred
Hand's lack of understanding.
It seems that the more educated individuals are the hardest to teach. The clerics have
been brainwashed into a channel
of thought that does not permit them to think in terms
other than in the channels into which they have been educated. The same applies to
lawyers and medics. A new idea
or different channel of thought
threatens their career. The
cleric must stick to the doctrine and dogma established to
be brainwashed into the public
mind as a means of controlling
the masses. The lawyer is concerned only with winning a debate on established rules of
procedure where the truth is
not as important as the rules
of practice; where a 1 ie uttered by 'qualified' witnesses
is considered evidence while
the truth from a 'layman' is
not probative evidence. And
the medic is so puffed up with
his own importance that he regards anybody who does not have
a medical license as a quack.
If a medic today practices the
way the medical art was practiced 50 years ago he would be
also called a quack. Therefore
wasn't he a quack 50 years ago?
And will not the present methods of medical treatment be
quackery 50 years from now? I
will admit that surgical skill
is great, but on the whole medical practice is quackery, and
ignorance in the field of health
is profound..
