You recall incorrectly. Nothing anyone has *ever* said on FFL has ever gotten me "pissed off." I think you're projecting again. :-) > You may not need > "objective" verification, but you're very firmly > attached to the notion that your *subjective* > experience was something more than fantasy on your > part. Nope. If it was a fantasy, it was a rather persistent one, but that's always possible. What amuses me is the attempt by people such as yourself and Shemp to *label* it a fantasy because the experiences of some- one who has witnessed levitation don't jibe with the theories of someone (yourselves) who have not. :-) > > Lawson is talking about a *theoretical* way of verifying > > something he has never witnessed.

NOTHING you could come up with in the realm of "proof" would EVER convince 40% of the people on the planet that levitation was real. Get over it. THAT is a fantasy. (got bored with the subject, snipt the rest...you can project your own reasons onto why...my reason is that this morning it's bright an sunny and unseasonably warm here and entering into *any* discussion with you seems like more of a waste of time than usual...so argue among yourself if you need an argument, ok? :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
