BTW, since you claim Atkins is a huckster I assume that ( even though you're wrong about Dr. Atkins as proven by the market feedback)

LOL - it's crackpots like you who have kept me out of the Libertarian Party. "market feedback" - give me a break. Is Oprah a relationship guru? Is Snoop Doggy Dog a great musician?

Atkins is a capitalist who makes money off of ignorant folks like you, without fraud or force. I love him for that.

Your frequent ad hominems show your true colors and reflects your incompetence. BTW, I'm not a Libertarian.

Senator Pardek: Anu doctor who places exercise over diet when it comes to weight loss is a quack - reminiscent of 19th century snake-oil salesmen.306

I'll ask again: How does that relate to your personal experience causing you to claim that Atkins is a Huckster?

The consensus in the market that purchased Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution is that the book helped them lose weight. Proven product and effective marketing -- not some external authority proclaiming from on high -- is what makes a product succeed. Especially true when the product flies in the face of the status quo, as Dr. Atkins' did.

Senator Pardek: I gotta laugh at these hucksters like Atkins.7

What do you say about consistency, Senator?

since you claim Atkins is a huckster I assume that... you have nailed almost all politicians and bureaucrats by acknowledging correctly that they are frauds. That is, you may disagree with Dr. Atkins and to remain at least a modicum of consistency on a scale of who's work harms who more it's helpful if you'd state where on the scale of charlatans, hucksters, cheats and frauds you place politicians and bureaucrats in general. I apologize in advance if this is over your head; I thought it useful to the reader in gauging your ability, or lack thereof, to reason. 308 [Emphasis added.]
