<snip> Apparently the author, Pigliucci, lifted the title from a quote attributed to Jeremy Bentham, a theorist in an Anglo-American philosophy of law, a political radical, Born 1748, died 1832. http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/59867.Jeremy_Bentham I find myself speculating whether Bentham, had he existed in our century, would he have come to the same conclusion that Pigliucci arrived at. -- Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
