“…saying "This is my opinion, but I may be wrong" is entirely irrational. If I say that it may be wrong, I say that is not my opinion. The modern habit of saying "Every man has a different philosophy; this is my philosophy and it suits me" - the habit of saying this is mere weak-mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.”~GKChesterton
And I will add this point of merely personal experience of humanity:
when men have a real explanation they explain it, eagerly and copiously and in
common speech.... When they have no explanation to offer, they give short
dignified replies, disdainful of the ignorance of the multitude.
Doubts about Darwinism

What up DOOD!! I didn't know you had a blog! I dig the pics. They are obviously the product of someone that owns a MAC!!! You only get pics tricked out that well with a MAC!
Thx for the comment and the lyric suggestion! It is a really good suggestion and you are smart to tie it back into the overall theme, the closing thought and have it rhyme!
I missed you this morning slacker!!
