The Chi of Love or The beauty of the truth The part of "What the Bleep" that I really found thought provoking was the Japanese experiments of Dr. Masaru Emoto. These experiments are discussed in his book the "Hidden Messages in Water". Here is a link to the actual page from the What the Bleep website that discusses Dr. Emoto's extraordinary results. whatthebleep.com I was very impressed by most of this film but rejected several ideas outright, I think most people will find something in the film that makes them go hmmmm. The film's layout is excellent and listening to the people before you understand the credentials behind the names is analogous to listening to people here on SI. I am thinking we don't have many members who claim to be channeling Ramtha though. I actually watched the credits to see who that was, I thought her self absorption was very evident and in my opinion the film would have been much improved by dropping Ramtha but.... "What the Bleep Do I Know ?"

Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey: 1. As used in this act: "Information content provider" means any person or entity that is responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development of information provided through the Internet or any other interactive computer service.

"Operator" means any person, business or organization qualified to do business in this State that operates an interactive computer service. 2. The operator of any interactive computer service or an Internet service provider shall establish, maintain and enforce a policy to require any information content provider who posts written messages on a public forum website either to be identified by a legal name and address, or to register a legal name and address with the operator of the interactive computer service or the Internet service provider through which the information content provider gains access to the interactive computer service or Internet, as appropriate. 3. An operator of an interactive computer service or an Internet service provider shall establish and maintain reasonable procedures to enable any person to request and obtain disclosure of the legal name and address of an information content provider who posts false or defamatory information about the person on a public forum website. 4. Any person who is damaged by false or defamatory written messages that originate from an information content provider who posts such messages on a public forum website may file suit in Superior Court against an operator or provider that fails to establish, maintain and enforce the policy required pursuant to section 2 of P.L. , c.
