pictorSo apparently I missed a demonstration last week by the 10:23 campaign against homeopathy. A group of people gathered on parliament hill, and tried to overdose on homeopathic medicine.
I am of mixed minds, but mostly amused. The mix comes form the fact that to do so required everyone to buy some medicine, giving a spike in sales, at least very temporarily. However, the gesture is still an amusing one, and possibly informative. It did make the news in a short, 45 second blurb or so.
I met most of these people on Sunday where I learned that a group of people meet for breakfast in a 'living without religion' discussion group at a pub downtown. Apparently it was the day after the "overdose", so there was a lot of joking inquiries after people's health. It was a nice discussion all the same. It lacked some of the debate components that I'd still enjoy finding, but it also makes for a nice excuse to get out for some breakfast on a Sunday morning in a very cozy pub.
