Is it possible, John, that while you may be proficient in homeopathy..esp. in
the defense of homeopathy, perhaps the gift that life has given you lies
elsewhere. I'd say law. I think you'd be a natural at law and the judgeship

I'm sure you'd make a fine career counsellor, with your creative gifts!

Thank you.

John

Perhaps you misread what I was writing about, Leilanae, which was an interesting commonality between homoeopathic practice and legal practice. Or perhaps you're suggesting just that intent is necessary in both. Your short message is a little on the telegraphic side!

Oh? You noticed that, did you? What comments are these: about intent as a way to tell the difference between homoeopathy and law, or about something else?

This seems to be getting a bit deep and meaningless, Leilanae. Have you noticed the subject line on this thread?
