* Then There Is

If I were to suggest that between the Earth
and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle
the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist
in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor
in an earlier time.
--Bertrand Russell


AN AFFIRMING FLAME
AND EVERYBODY GOES "AWWW"

THEN THERE IS NO MOUNTAIN,
THEN THERE IS...
