La Millecam

Earlier this day, on the hunt for extensive power eating utensils to blow up my brand new computer, I decided to watch the Sylvia Millecam (picture) documentary over at the Dutch public broadcasting website. Actually, I wasn’t even aware of the fact she died (In short, she decided to find out alternative healing methods for her breast cancer instead of trusting more successful methods like chemotherapy or radiation. She died last August). It was interesting to hear one of the commentators (actually, one of her friends) say that ‘religion can only gain ground on the wings of fear’. How could such a smart (and funny0 girl fall in the hands of ‘pseudo science’?
