->''If you DO have a friend who's obsessing a little too much about those artificial chemicals in food, maybe remind them that all food has chemicals in it. Hell!

->That a feeling is bestowed on us by Nature, does not necessarily legitimate all its promptings. The feeling of justice might be a peculiar instinct, and might yet require, like our other instincts, to be controlled and enlightened by a higher reason. If we have intellectual instincts, leading us to judge in a particular way, as well as animal instincts that prompt us to act in a particular way, there is no necessity that the former should be more infallible in their sphere than the latter in theirs: it may as well happen that wrong judgments are occasionally suggested by those, as wrong actions by these.

Evolutionary psychology is to neo-chauvinists what quantum physics are to New Agers: a barbarous name the cargo cult invokes in an attempt to imbue their woo with scientific legitimacy.

->"Well, is there a rough analog in nature? If so, then just point that out! It's okay that I'm allowed to rip off senile old people because the strong preying on the weak is all-natural...you know, like cancer and intestinal parasites."
