They had to make up stuff to render the world explainable. They did that
plenty, so what? We know better now, isn't that a good thing!

I can only speak for myself, but I have no reason to oppose abortion.
I'm not going to have one, but see no reason why I should deny someone
else that freedom. I don't accept the doctrine of a soul. That evidence
thing again, I'm afraid.

Wrong.
There is no medicine for his mental sickness yet, in this world.
Probable cure is to put a twin electrode into his brain, to help.
I shall contribute US$ 1.oo per month to help this fellow human, in
the hope to see if we do find one day that he will be awaken. But this
is conditional that I send the contribution to the hospital and not
into his personal account.

Ah, the now-infamous Winn "la-la-la-la-I'm-not-listening" defence. A
rip-snorter!

It's up there with the exceptional "because you disagree with me, I'm
right" Martinez mindburp.
