At least one scientist says that the “Activator Method” is bunk.

Luke 11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Luke 11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

“ccpetersen : The only “magic” cure for excess weight I know of is,,,starvation,,,works like a champ,,,until the famine ends,,,”

Amputation? The more weight you want to lose the more body parts you lop off? Kinda drastic cure though!

“Kill all the lawyers!”

A funny list of weird and sometimes plain dumb cases – mostly anyway.

OTOH I can’t help wishing that legal action had prevented, say the A-Bomb ever coming into existence … to name one example.

Seems sometimes science’s job is to come up with more and more horrible ways of killing more people ..

(Eg. depleted uranmium shells, landmines, aerial bombardment, specialised stronger-sharper swords, seige towers, napalm, H-Bombs, neutron bombs, trebuchets, grenades, ad nauseam ..)

While the law & politics is there to protect us from these scientific inventions. (Eg. SALT treaty, anti-landmine treaty, United Nations -hasn’t that worked well – not!, anti-nuclear weapons treaty,anti-biological & chemical weapons treaty, ad nauseam ..)

Moreover, if something threatens to destroy the *entire* planet like say hypothetically the LHC or maybe one of its successor atom-smashers (Yeah I know we keep hearing that it won’t & yes, odds are 99.999 % likely that it won’t too – but some folks still fear it will ..) then why should legal action to prevent it be restricted to only one nation?

If some mad experiment thingy (not specifically saying the LHC just in general) hypothetically threatens to kill everyone on Earth .. Then I reckon anyone, anywhere – in fact *every*body , *everywhere*, ought tobe able to take whatever action is needed (pref. non-violent but) incl. legal action to stop the mad experiment.

Coz Planet Earth is kinda in *all* our jurisdictions!

Yes, science is fantastic and, yes, we all benefit from it – but I would also have to say it is a double-edged sword witha downside too and needs careful handling as well.

So while these cases are dumb examples of suing science & worth laughing at – legal action against certain types of science is perhaps justifiable under some circumstances.

I do know that there’s NO magic bullet for weight loss, just as there is no royal road to geometry…
