Saw this, couldn't resist, 160 years ago people knew it was bunk"
"In the Sixth Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Mr. Lincoln poked some fun at Douglas for some very fancy legal footwork in his definition and application of "Popular Sovereignty." The comparison Mr. Lincoln used was:
He [Douglas] has at last invented this sort of do-nothing Sovereignty - that the people may exclude slavery by a sort of "Sovereignty" that is exercised by doing nothing at all. Is not that running his Popular Sovereignty down awfully? Has it not got down as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by boiling the shadow of a pigeon that had starved to death?
He made fun of homeopathy: Another argument for Abe Lincoln as our greatest President."

COMMENT:
And more wise about this health care issue than Dr. Andrew Weil, a Harvard physician and darling of the alternative set. Who has himself been pathologically unable to make fun of homeopathy, even though it is richly deserving of it.
