Science says you're wasting your time.

SETI has turned up a conspicuous lack of evidence of intelligent life on planet Brandioch.

Truth is that which is the case. Accept no substitutes.
If competence is considered "hubris" then may I and my country always be as "arrogant" as we can possibly manage.

Bill + Marlowe.

Hey Marlowe, I have a quote for you regarding your belief that "enemies" should be forced, upon threat of death, to be mine detectors.

I'm sure you'll appreciate your philosophical mentor.

[link|http://skepdic.com/refuge/weird.html|Here]
Do a search on "Bolshevism".

Hitler at one time compared the Jews to tuberculosis bacilli which had infected Europe. It was not cruel to shoot them if they would not work or if they could not work. He said: "This is not cruel if one remembers that even innocent creatures of nature, such as hares and deer when infected, have to be killed so that they cannot damage others. Why should the beasts who wanted to bring Bolshevism be spared more than these innocents?"

You know, it might not be accurate, but I feel that any position which offends BOTH Bill and Marlowe just might be worth investigating.
