As I write this I am very disturbed. I just received a forwarded an email from a Christian.
The theme of the email is nothing new to atheists, it concerns ensuring you mark your religious point of view correctly on the census. In this case, it is aimed at ensuring you state Christian; even if you are not practicing any faith. As an atheist I encourage you to mark “no religion” if you don’t believe in God/s.
I am disturbed at the bigotry portrayed in the email. The author clearly has anti-Muslim views. The text of the email is clearly not just aimed at increasing the Christian numbers on the census but also to put Muslims in a bad light.
Terms like “muzzys” and the “muslim threat” are intended to portray Muslims as being of less worth than other Australians.
One of the many things I love about being Australian is the variety of people is nation is made up of. We get to experience a taste of many cultures that ultimately make Australia what it is now and what it will be in the future.
The email is copy and pasted in full below. All grammar and spelling are as I received it.
******************************************************************
Re: A MUST READ Census 2011 - please pass this on to all your friends
The Muslims are organizing for the coming census.
They feel there are more of them than what has been stated.
They want a bigger say in how Australia is run.
Make sure that those of us who care,let the Government know that there are plenty of non-muzzys as well.
(Try not to declare 'Jedi' or 'Pastafarian' or a belief system that would negate efforts to contain the muslim threat)
I,for one,do not want to see more mosques,burqas,demands for sharia law,cases of female genital mutilation 'Dalek-like creatures on summer beaches,cruel halal slaughter and other backward practices not needed here in Australia.
It is really scary to see that the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils
have been campaigning their Muslim followers since 2009/2010 to ensure that
they complete the census religion question/s in order to "determine
representation in Australian Federal & State Politics" & "how government
funds (Federal & State) is spent in the planning & location of services &
allocation of resources for the Muslim community" , This was downloaded
from the Australian Federation of Islamic Council's website.
Please pass this on & don't forget to answer any/all religious question/s as
"CHRISTIAN" (OR YOUR UPBRINGING FAITH) for all members of your household.

WHICH WITCH IS WHICH?
Based on the current science, we know that homoeopathy does not work. It is no better than modern day witch craft. So why do homoeopaths still push their products as being an alternative to medicine? I suggest the typical homoeopath falls into one of three categories.
1. The Homoeopath that does not or can not understand the science. This person reads the available literature, but their ability to grasp the science, see the flaws in bad studies and so on is lacking. This person might also be mostly reading the “science” that is promoted by other homoeopaths. Their bias ensures that they will always see positive results but never the negative. Someone who is unable to understand the evidence for their chosen field is un-qualified to practice in that field.
2. The Homoeopath that pays no attention to the science, but uses their own experience and insights to guide them. This person is a faith healer. Evidence is irrelevant. This person only responds to positive anecdotes from their own experience and their clients; while glossing over the failures. This person genuinely believes that homoeopathy works, but for all the wrong reasons. Faith healers have no business dispensing “medicines”, even placebos.
3. Then there is the Homoeopath that realises that homoeopathy does not work. This person is intentionally committing fraud. If you fall into this category, you should be jailed. You know that your product is a sham and that it has the potential to cause injury or death by delaying or preventing your clients from getting the medical help they need.
I further suggest that the big manufacturers of homoeopathy are well aware that there products are worthless. So the CEO's of those companies also fall into the third category.
Bottom line, it does not matter which category you put a homoeopath in, they have no business dispensing “medicine” or even giving advice on health issues.

Lord of the Frauds
One Fraud to rule them all,
One Fraud to find them,
One Fraud to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them
It occurred to me that this quote from Lord of the Rings fits Andy Wakefield perfectly. Anti-vaxxers are ruled by his fraudulent study, it inspired a whole movement that can not get past the fact that their inspiration is fraud. This fraud has found all those people looking to blame something for the illness of their child. It is very sad that they latched onto a deception and are now ruled by it. They are trapped in the darkness of the anti-vax world and can not see the light that science shines on the subject. I feel sorry for them.

Elephants and Mice, or Cowards and Censors?
If there is one thing I can not abide it is people who push their worthless "medicine", especially homeopaths. When examined as a whole, the science shows that homeopathy has no value. Yet people with vested interests and those that are emotionally attached continue to push this 200 year old rubbish to increase their income and spread their faith in magic pills.
Today, I have found something worse. The homeopathic censor. On occasion I put my skeptic hat on and dare to comment on some of the non sense that is put on the web. Most specifically I have had cause to comment on a blog post at "Elephants and Mice". Previously my comments on this blog have been “moderated”, by which I mean not published. Clearly, the only way to get your comments published here is to agree whole heartedly or post something that the owner feels they can rip into. Today though, my comments were posted, but only after being edited. I feel violated. I put a lot of thought and effort into writing a comment only to have a fraction published and for the published part to be made fun of in the most bizarre fashion.
To the owner of Elephants and Mice, I am publicly calling you a coward. I challenge you to publish the full comment and put down the censors knife.
Editing comments is only one step from out right lying.
IMHO, the moderation feature on a blog is to ensure that the comments are not abusive, do not contain foul language and so on. It is not there to allow censorship.
I will be posting a link to this in the comments of Elephants and Mice. If you have the nerve to publish it, I am sure my little blog will be attacked by you and your minions. Unlike you though, I will not censor the responses to suit my agenda.
The full comment is as follows. Only the first two paragraphs were published. You can find the edited version here.
You guys are great, you go direct to attack mode. How fun.
I have no knowledge of this alleged fraud, which is why I have not commented specifically on it. I do know many applicants to the million dollar challenge simply will not agree to reasonable test conditions.
"But then again, as an organizer of the secret meetings and organizing of skeptics it is par for the course for you. " This is pathetic. How you managed to make this jump of logic is beyond me. I am no organiser of skeptics and if there are secret meetings, they are secret from me. More likely, they are not secret, its just you were not invited.
You can appeal to authority all you want. Even Nobel winners make mistakes.
rside: You are making sweeping generalisations and assumptions. The skeptic movement is chock full of real scientists who make themselves heard if any skeptic gets the science wrong; including Randi. While Randi is not a scientist he relies on scientists for the best information out there. True believers look to their token scientists as if they are priests who can do no wrong. For the record, my diploma is in applied science; so rasberries to your assumptions.
You call me a skeptic as if it were an insult. I wear that label proudly. All good scientists are skeptics. The first thing a good scientist does is try to dis-prove their own hypothesis. If the idea passes well designed tests, then maybe it has some merit.
Science has nothing to do with being loud or nasty. It is a process. An idea must stand up to peer review, it must be repeatable and it must be able to withstand criticism.
To summarise, you folks have made a number of assumptions and generalisations in your responses which are not true. You attack the person who provides any opinion which does not match your own. You do not provide worthwhile evidence. You can distract from the real issue all you like by alleging fraud and so on, but it does not help support your claims about homeopathy.
The fact is homeopathy does not work and you can not let go of your beliefs. You do not have the ability to examine the evidence in a rational and impartial fashion. Probably because you have financial and emotional attachments.

The final answer to the republic question
Way back when we had a referendum to answer the republic question once and for all; I was of the opinion if it ain’t broke don't fix it. In those days I had not been convinced that there was any point to Australia becoming a republic. It all sounded like a lot of hassle for not much gain. However, if a referendum were held tomorrow I would be far more likely to vote for it. I'm still not fussed one way or another. The only argument that holds any real sway for me now is the fact that Australia is so multi-cultural. We are no longer a bunch of poms invading this land. We are not even just Europeans any more. Now we are every nation all mixed up; that is what makes Australia great. I love travelling around and seeing all types of people.
The Union Jack on our flag no longer represents the history of Australia and all her people. This one is simple to fix, just remove the Union Jack. A blue flag with the Southern Cross and the Commonwealth Star suits me fine. The Commonwealth Star represents all the states and territories and can be made bigger to fill the void. While the Southern Cross (at least for me) represents that we are all one people under the Southern Cross. That is one problem solved.
I say the first Australians have a point when they say "Invasion Day" instead of "Australia Day". Again, easy fixed. Move the day to another date that has no meaning one way or another. Who actually thinks about ole Cookie at Botany Bay while wearing the Green and Gold and cheering at the cocky races? While we are at it, lets have an extra day off for "First Australians Day" as a celebration of Aboriginal culture.
Now the biggie... what do we do about the Monarchy? I reckon I have come up with the perfect solution. We need to have a competition to find Australia’s most Aussie Chick. It would make for great tv. My vote is for Kylie Mole. We then marry her to Prince Harry. Harry needs to become an Australian citizen and breed up lots of little Aussie Princes and Princess. We can then ditch Queenie, Charlie and Willy; we will have the party Prince. Maybe the first generation of Aussie royals can breed with the Dutch Royals to get Mary's bloodline back in Australia.
Hazza, as I like to call him, can be King of Australia. We will keep him busy cutting ribbons and greeting foreign leaders while we get on with business.
Everyone is happy, the flag is fixed, we have proper celebrations of being Australian and our history and we have severed formal ties with England; plus we have our very own Monarchy for the tabloids to scrutinise.
And the best part, we have a blood nut King! How Aussie is that?

Brissy Resolution Run with Magic Holograms and Magic Water
Last weekend (before the floods) the Fit One and I took part in the 2011 Resolution Run. I walked 5km and she ran 10km in the rain. We started together and I finished a few minutes before she did; which I say means I won.
During the entire event I only counted 3 magic hologram wristbands. This is a huge improvement on most events, where you see loads of them. I was saddened to see a very obese lady who was putting in a huge effort doing a 10km walk and wearing a magic hologram. Having seen the Fit One battle obesity, I have an idea of the emotional and physical torment she was probably going through. Some schmuck has taken advantage of her, probably taken $60plus out of her pocket and given her false hope. She could have better spent that money on joining a weight loss group, good nutrition or a pedicure. At lease there were no magic holograms for sale at this event. Not a single brand was represented. HOORAH!. For a moment I wished I had a stand selling Placebo Bands; a bit of money could have been raised for charity and spread the message of critical thinking. All up, the event was well organised and everyone seemed to be having a great time... until I got to the finish line.
And Then There Was Magic Water....
As I hobbled across the finish, I was handed a bottle of Aqua Essence Water (http://www.aquaessence.com.au). That was nice, I was thirsty. At face value, it seams to be as good a product as any other spring water. Even better it is packaged into nifty "bottles" that they say use 70% less plastic than a regular bottle and are recyclable. Very good. The problem is when you read the other claims on the package under the heading "key health benefits " It's natural Alkaline levels (pH 7.8) ensure superior hydration, providing you with a blend of healthy minerals to fight diseases and slow down the ageing process." Sure, right. No credible evidence for this is provided on the packaging or the companies web site. On the web site, you can down load a pdf "fact" sheet on water pH (http://www.aquaessence.com.au/softpack/waterph.pdf). This sheet is gibberish. Any one with the most basic understanding of pH will see these guys have no idea. The big error, oxygen levels are not related to pH. Water with lots of Hydrogen (one H of H2O) or lots of Hydroxide (another H and the O in H2O) does not equal high levels of oxygen. Temperature, air pressure, salinity, and B.O.D among others have a far greater effect on oxygen levels than pH. The info sheet also uses words and phrases including energy production, detoxify heavy metals, tumor cells thrive, fatigue, illness, stress, toxic overload and immune reactions. This is all sounds very science, though I suggest it is mostly meaningless.
The company states the product has a pH of 7.8. I have not bothered to test the pH, I doubt it really matters. The idea that a moderate pH of 7.8 will have any effect on the body after it meets pH of 4.0 in the stomach is doubtful at best. pH of 4.0 is as acid as pH 9.0 is alkaline. pH 7.8 will be quickly reduced to pH of 4.0 in the stomach. Brisbane tap water routinely has a pH of 7.8 plus (I have lost count of the times I have tested tap water). When I was living in Canberra, the pH was usually even higher. No need to buy magic water for an alkaline drink, tap water so much cheaper. Any decent pool shop or pet shop should be able to tell you the pH of your tap water.
Buying Aqua Essence water for its supposed health benefits is a total waste of money. I believe this company is falsely advertising its product as having properties that are dubious at best. Shame on you Aqua Essence.
And Then More Magic Holograms....
While waiting for the Fit One to finish her run I observed the prizes being awarded to the winners of the races. Each place getter was presented with a free Power Balance Pack...... my heart sank. The announcer guy happily called out each winner and every time thanked Power Balance for sponsoring the event. As a wise man once said “This turd won't flush”. Power Balance should get the idea and quietly sneak away with their ill gotten gains.
Resolution Run Organisers, You Are Not Off The Hook...
I get that greedy individuals and companies (such as Power Balance and Aqua Essence) want to make a quick buck by resorting to Woo Woo. However, the Resolution Run web site (http://www.resolutionrun.com.au/) talks about helping Australian's get fit and healthy. I understand that an event like this needs to have sponsors and that products that promote health and well being are the obvious match. However, the organisers need to vet their sponsors to ensure the products that are being promoted are genuine and live up to expectations. By accepting these sponsors they are promoting these products to a great number of people who may be looking for any product that looks like it might help. Morally the organisers have a duty to investigate those products. After the race I had a very breif chat with the announcer guy. I asked if he was aware of the ACCC news regarding Power Balance. He replied that they were, but they were already locked into the sponsorship and that Power Balance would not be used as a sponsor again. I suggested that some research was warranted before accepting a new sponsor. He replied that they did research and Power Balance seamed credible. I suggested that if they did a Google search they would have quickly found loads of information from skeptics that would have alerted them to the mis-information Power Balance provided. The announcer guy just looked at me funny. I thanked him and went on my way. This event was otherwise well organised and run very professionally, so I see no excuse for not doing some simple research on the sponsors.
To summarise:
Aqua Essence Water: FAIL
Power Balance: FAIL (as usual)
Resolution Run: FAIL

Magic Holograms
Today, I am at the Bribie Island Triathlon. Normally at these events I see many hologram bracelets for sale in merchandise stands. While they are for sale, they are not on prominent display. Hopefully this means the retailers are catching on to how bad these products are. The down side is, I have never seen so many of these bands being worn by competitors. Normally, I would see see around half a dozen and would consider ten sightings to be unusual. Today, I lost count with the number being at least thirty, probably much more. Perhaps I need to rally local skeptics to come and do demonstrations to show up how bad these holograms are. I have decided to make of a shirt that says "MAGIC HOLOGRAM BRACELET WINS SHONKY AWARD", or something to that effect.
