There's a difference between snake oil and a novelty gift.

Wilson lives in my building and I used to see him and his former wife around Bellevue all the time. He seems like a nice guy but his comments about his water are absurd and could be dangerous.

I didn't realize it was possible for me to like him less, but profiteering on pseudoscientific scam remedies and homeopathy managed to bump him up a notch.

i used to like russell-actually i still think he means well, but, maybe he should re-think(if he can) his position on this "magic" water.  the more he tries to advocate for it, makes it look more like the head shots he think he has escaped are not as benign as he wants us to believe.  about the only thing he's getting from the water is a few vitamins and nutrients, enhanced kidney and bladder function and a quenched thirst.  let others decide what their own placebo affect will be.  the ole subliminal trick, eyyy?  and, no one recovers from a clay matthews hit that easily ;D

He's not even considered an alum of UW-madison.  He didn't get enough hours under his belt to qualify and I'm sure he didn't complete any his second semester.
