Shocking

what's even more shocking is that the AFL are not going to cancel this weekends games as a mark of respect

In this era of TV revenue funded professional sport, shocking is not a word that would come to my mind.

Exactly.

They are showing that the $$$$ is all that matters

The AFL have gone down a lot in my estimation.

James Best, the actor best known for his portrayal of bumbling yet endearing Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on TV's "The Dukes of Hazzard," died at 9:28 p.m. ET Monday after a brief illness and complications of pneumonia. He was 88.

Never did manage to catch dem Duke boys...

Was watching High Plains drifter again tonight and doing a bit of reading up on afterwards. Geoffrey Lewis who played alongside Eastwood in a lot of his films (Orville in Any which way, Stacy Bridges in High Plains Drifter) also died on 7th April this year.
Along with Best 2 recurring faces from childhood whose name I never knew.

I don't accept any of that, right decision to cancel the Geelong game of course but also right decision to allow every other game proceed.

Snake oil salesman Jan de Vries

Thats a bit disrespectful to a man who helped countless people.   Salesmen may tend to be uneducated fast-talkers but JDV was a qualified pharmacist.

Surely there is a tablet it can take to wither on for a while?

So in that case before modern scientific medicine no one knew cures or remedies for anything?

"Does it work?

There has been extensive investigation of the effectiveness of homeopathy. There is no good-quality evidence that homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition (see What can we conclude from the evidence?)."

They could have just said No.
