I don't believe in eugenic manipulation to improve the quality of the citizenry, but I may have been tempted to vote for the firing squad for that guy.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-50241654029364805162012-07-22T14:32:41.447-07:002012-07-22T14:32:41.447-07:00'Keffel had only five negatives in his camera?...'Keffel had only five negatives in his camera? ..."that should tell you he was planning a hoax right there"'.<br /><br />But if Keffel'd taken a full reel of shots...<br /><br />'Keffel didn't take shots of anything else with that reel? ..."that should tell you he was planning a hoax right there"'.<br /><br />'it can't be real, so it must be ...X.'<br /><br />That in a nutshell's the entire skeptical argument (though I quite like the variants that translate "They've got to be lying because it's perfectly obvious if aliens really existed the first person they'd reveal themselves to's me.").alanborkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333017272673090593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-5085569240715680772012-07-22T08:46:39.054-07:002012-07-22T08:46:39.054-07:00Yep, correct Frank.
