*** A Correction From Jeff Wagg
"Folks, I apparently described the Bernoulli Effect BACKWARDS. Air flows faster over the wing, not under it, and this is what causes lift. Also, I learned that there is a huge controversy over the Bernoulli Effect and flying that rivals the Anthropomorphic Global Warming debates. Anyway, I'm sorry I screwed that up.

No Libel Laws in Science

The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
