Is it possible to develop a coherent history of the Hebrew people from their beginning to the period of the Babylonian captivity by purely rational means and without resorting to all kinds of priestly edicts and ominous miracles? In other words, can we employ rational techniques to manufacture a non-theological history? If we are to have any expectation of success in ambitious an effort we must define our own presumptions in advance. Most importantly, we must accept the reality that not all "holy men" are disinterested in everything not of divine prodding. There are venal priests....

When I wrote this most Americans had neverheard of Vietnam, let alone of a village called Mai Lie (sic). We were blissfully unaware of the American corporate machinations which led to our CIA ousting of the democratically elected Iranian government whose only offense was to insist on raising the royalty on Iranian oil to more than fifty-five cents per 55 gallon barrel, i.e. from 1 penny per gallon to 2 pennies per gallon When the oil barons flatly refused to accept the change our government hacks stepped in and organized a coup to depose the Iranian government and install a more obedient...

The idea of paper-thin little dimensions where the act of stepping or not stepping on an ant results in the creation of a new dimension is not rational. The logic is deficient, simply because every universe must embrace a spectrum, ergo, we arrive at a system similar to the one employed here. Given this the 'science' here is logically impeccable. A modestly powerful computer could labor weeks churning out details of the mechanics of such a universe without uncovering any inconsistencies. But...

The essential companion to the Cynic's Muses. So you are a cynic? This is your holy book. In truth, the great ones fear the cynic; so also do the lesser ones despise him, for he is not of them; yet he IS. And when the time is come that he shall be no more, then will the great ones preach him and the lesser ones worship him... but he will know neither. For that which is to be preached and that which is to be worshipped was never him.
