yes, in the same camp as ann coulter, laura ingraham, peggy noonan, mark levin, thomas sowell, ben stein et al. But NONE of them KNOW anything obviously, probably haven't read THE WOLFSON REPORT and are just reacting emotionally to the entire affair...

Gotta go but just had to give you a quick 'LOL!' --- too true bump.

Yes, we are all just reactionary right wing nut jobs. It's one thing to get labeled like that from the real nut jobs at the DUmmy site but I'm quite shocked that so many of our so called FRiends have gone into such name calling.

On page 33 Wolfson make the following statement:

"(Descartes addressed this in his proposition that it is our awareness, our consciousness that defines our being: "Cogito, ergo sum." This logic would imply that unless we are aware and conscious, we cease to be.)"

This fallacy of logic is at the heart of his whole thesis. This was noticed by FReeper syriacus HERE from context posted HERE.


(Descartes addressed this in his proposition that it is our awareness, our consciousness that defines our being: "Cogito, ergo sum." This logic would imply that unless we are aware and conscious, we cease to be.)

That's bad logic.

The statement,
"I don't think, therefore, I am not,"
cannot be proven true,
from the truthfulness of the statement,
"I think, therefore I am.

The "I don't think"statement is merely the inverse of the "I think "statement."

Elementary logic: Inverse: The inverse is simply the conditional with ‘not’ added to it.

1.Statement: If p, then q
2. Inverse: If not p, then not q

A statement is not logically equivalent ... to its inverse.

"in the same camp as ann coulter, laura ingraham, peggy noonan, mark levin, thomas sowell, ben stein et al."

Sounds like good company to me.

"...just reacting emotionally to the entire affair..."

Life and death is a pretty emotional subject.
