Flame » in reply to Samizdata quote of the day

Have you learned nothing from the world's recent experience?

This continues to astound me. You remind me of someone insisting the world is flat. That idea sounded good at one time, until it stopped working.

What happens to organisms which can't learn from experience? They are doomed to repeat their mistakes.

It's as if you keep insisting man will never fly. Point out the airplanes, helicopters, the gliders, and you just keep quoting people who say man will never fly.

Someone points out another airplane and you say that's not man flying, that it's a machine flying, and that man can never use the air to get from one place to the other.

Yours was a good idea one time, but it's getting rather pathetic to see such insistence in the face of conclusive, catastrophic evidence. I'm beginning to move from frustration to just plain pity.
