Publius, This dichotomy also applies to your religious arguments. I complained that no matter what argument I presented, you had a very logical comeback and then stated that I should appreciate the solid logic.
Well, the problem with your solid logic is that it is highly circular. Religious arguments are in a closed system where all the unspoken assumptions are carefully hidden in the background. This allows you to argue both sides of the issues and make them sound reasonable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Publius Maximus" <[email protected]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 3:42 AM Subject: Re: [OT] Amusing Ourselves To Death On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 6:33 PM, Ed Leafe <[email protected]> wrote: > Huxley vs. Orwell, and Huxley wins. > > http://www.recombinantrecords.net/docs/2009-05-Amusing-Ourselves-to-Death.html > ( -or- http://j.mp/aIjrBI ) Actually, both were at various times and diverse places correct, and the god of this world is happy, either way.

Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
