Great example of reversing the burden of proof. Even if there are effects, why would we assume they were good? Is there any evidence that shoeless people are more or less healthy? How many of these people extolling the benefits of the earth's electromagnetic forces are also decrying the microwave bombardment we're constantly faced with? What's the frequency, Kenneth?
