As of late Katherine Harris, the rather frantic woman who helped Bush get elected, made news when she argued that if you don't elect Christian (her version of Christian-inanity, no doubt) candidates then you're legislating sin.

A year ago she wasted state funds researching the use of holy water for a cure for a disease that strikes orange trees. She somehow came to believe water when blessed by some woo woo crap changes the "fractal" structure of the water and imbues it with "infinite levels of order". Crap I can make up better sounding pseudo mumbo jumbo. Anyway, easily a million bucks of public money was used to, in essence, try to verify the veracity of a purely religious claim.
Not surprisingly, praying over water doesn't actually do diddly and you don't need to spend $1 million to determine that. (If it wasn't for the huge waste of money, this is almost as hilarious as the politician a number of years ago who was sure Y2K was going to bring about the fall of civilization and the pharmaceutical industry and started drinking silver under the belief it was an effective antibiotic and turned his skin blue.)

In a letter to the state government, Wayne Dixon, the head of Florida's Bureau of Entomology, Nematology and Plant Pathology, reported that the "product is a hoax and not based on any credible known science." He added, "I wish to maintain our standing in the scientific community and not allow [the developers of Celestial Drops] to use our hard-earned credibility" to promote their product. |
Clearly Dixon is an atheist, a liberal, and part of a conspiracy of activist scientists who can't handle the shocking truth of this miracle water and attempt to legislate from the laboratory bench.
