The bunk of chiropractors

Most people can understand that homeopathy is bunk science (in the same way intelligent design and astrology are), but many are still willing to stand behind their chiropractors who are downright thieves.  At Surgeonsblog he says it best (after tearing at chiropractors and then ranting on pseudoscience):

I don’t think you should get to pick and choose. Don’t believe in evolution? OK, then don’t get on an airplane. Earth is twelve thousand years old? Fine. Take back your laptop. Homeopathy makes sense to you? No problem. Put down that cellphone, never avail yourself of GPS. Because if man and dinosaur occupied the same space and the same time, if carbon-dating is bogus, atomic clocks don’t work and transplants are impossible. If vaccines cause autism, Rovers aren’t on Mars and nothing will happen when I push the button to post this.

Want more reasons to discredit chiropractors? See SkepticReport, and Wikipedia’s subarticle on the Scientific Investigation of Chiropractic.  The summary is: there is not enough substantial evidence to claim spinal manipulation is able to cure anything, and furthermore, there are many serious risks to spinal manipulation when improperly performed (stroke, paralysis, etc.)
