One Of The Rules I Try To

All This Talk Of Using Tax Policy To 'assess Social Costs'...what A Dumb Idea. The Only Way To Stop Polluters Is To Put Them Against Walls And Shoot Them.

For All Its Beauty, Honesty, And Effectiveness At Improving The Human Condition, Science Demands A Terrible Price - That We Accept What Experiments Tell Us About The Universe, Whether We Like It Or Not. It's About Consensus And Teamwork And Respectful Critical Argument, Working With, And Through, Natural Law. It Requires That We Utter, Frequently, Those Hateful Words - 'i Might Be Wrong.'

One Of The Rules I Try To Follow Is That Normal People Are Going To Be Involved Even In Heroic Events

The Measure Of (mental) Health Is Flexibility (not Comparison To Some 'norm'), The Freedom To Learn From Experience ... To Be Influenced By Reasonable Arguments ... And The Appeal To The Emotions ... And Especially The Freedom To Cease When Sated. The Essence Of Illness Is The Freezing Of Behavior Into Unalterable And Insatiable Patterns.
