All this blubbering and whining about whale blubber ...

Talk about making mountains out of molehills and whales out of moles

there are so many other agendas going on here -Give a rest to all of your high horses, don't ride them too hard and kill them in your zeal to save the whale
I do not know if this is the right forum for you to discuss the dastardly act of whale butchery, problems in Sudan, high sea piracy, corporate greed in BP and political skull-duggery elsewhere even if they are global issues- I know that you folks shed all kinds of tears for all kinds of unfairness in the world - that is ok just as long as some perspective is maintained...

As to the comment on the nature of collecting our homeopathic specimens and material, I do not know if people tickle the funny bones of snakes to collect their venom- how many of you truthfully know how each medicine that we use is collected by all these different pharmaceuticals?

If some one asks you for rabies saliva for a proving what do you do ? Immediately you start berating people for trying to make a cuddly puppy catch rabies and make it suffer?

When I eat chicken I just get chicken from the supermarket - I do not see if it had been mercifully killed with lethal injection... I salute the nobility of your kind hearts and sanctimonious tears but do not think this is the place for you to shed these... and this is definitely not the intent of the question to get folks to gather their harpoons, dress like Captain Ahab and go in search of Moby Dick for a piece of blubber....

Is not dog the greatest friend of human kind? You invite friend for dinner, not consider friend as dinner

I have seen dogs treated better than folks own daughters and also dogs eaten for dinner- perspective and cultural differences- who is right and who is wrong - and even if I consider one wrong or right what has that got to do with how I practice homeopathy however short-sighted or narrow minded or cruel and cunning I am

If you'd just shut up and kept quiet a discussion you care nothing about would disappear as many do, considering what does get discussed on this forum but at least this one did have a homeopathic start up.

We should care about how substances are gathered for our provings, we should care about provings full stop, without them we do not have much Hahnemannian homeopathy.

You are quite right - all morality is relative.
However, any thinking, sensitive person will have a personal code of morality. It matters little what it is in a sense, but it does matter - very much - if it is respected or not. To ignore it makes us brutes.
I may or may not be luckier than some - I don't have to rely eating on dog - or whale - to survive. Here in the west, the whale is something of an icon - brought about largely by Greenpeace - and symbolic of the need to protect our fragile environment. So killing a whale - for me - is very much part of my moral code.
Homeopathy doesn't need to kill more creatures - IMHO - so let's respect what little we have left of the natural world, and not buy into whale slaughter - for any reason - as the whales are fast disappearing.

No whale needs to be purposely killed in order to get a tsp of blubber. So what does this commentary have to do with *anything*?????

John-

It must be my aging or vanishing brain cells - I find understanding your responses more difficult now a days- it is like a beginner in English reading Dudgeon's translation of the Organon without a dictionary-

I am pretty sure much of what you say is definitely worth understanding - except that they are surrounded by such seemingly erudite sentences - it just goes way above my head

Seems to me Hahnemann is extracting his revenge with a vengeance for all the ridicule I had piled on his Organon and my comments on how reading the Organon brings me such a great peace of mind and instant sleep

Yours is not far below the Organon in its "hypnotic" effect....
