"There were 345 murders in this city in the last six months, and they have three things in common. First, they have nothing in common; second, they have no motive; and third, they are all unsolved."
Some paraphrasing here.
I know :-)
The reason is the usual online lyrics sources don't include those lines, but they're on the record.
"There were 345 murders in this city in the last six months, and they have three things in common. First, they have nothing in common; second, they have no motive; and third, they are all unsolved.
...and I've heard that line, too, but I can't remenber where it came from!
I'm not sure what your point was in raising this little spiel, but whoever made this statement errs on at least four of his six propositions. 1.) They DO have something in common (namely a death) because they are all murders, 2.) they DO all have a motive, else they would, by definition, not be murders, 3.) the deaths all occured in the same city, and 4.) he is incorrect in assigning the referents for his enumeration of "three."
I hope that individual was not a detective on any of those cases, because they would very likely all remain unsolved due to his inability to analyze data or make accurate statements about the same. I wonder if he was, perCHANCE, an evolutionist at heart?
But in a world where natural selection, nothingness, and chance rule, what does it matter if a chemically induced, incomprehensible-by-science phenomenon like murder should ever rear its head in the first place?
