- NIH is being forced to fund study into chiropractry(?) along with the
- other 'alternative medicine' approaches.
-
- As far as astrology goes, I'd think that such widespread antiscientific
- beliefs would be of great interest to those in the APS apparently
- interested in scientific purity.
-
- Also, I'm sure such base things as dollars never come into consideration
- of certain members of the APS when things like the integrity of science
- come into play. After all, we have been told many times that the APS
- is not against SSF because of the competition for money, just because
- 'it is not science'.
