Landmines of the Mind Summary

Sample these observations:
*So many religions out there! Religious affiliation is a lottery ticket. The winning ticket, if there is one, will be announced in the hereafter, if there is one.
*Assumptions are second-hand, cheaply bought certitudes; they are unearned truths.
*In a single male ejaculation, there are some 100 million sperm cells. Since each cell carries a slightly different genetic makeup, each human being who ever lived won the lottery of life at odds of 100 million to one. And yet people complain of bad luck.
*In a traditional, theocentric society, the four values of love, marriage, sex, and procreation come as part of a single package. We moderns have unwrapped the package and disassembled the toy.
*Statements like 'I really love you!" and 'You are beautiful!" are entrance fees.
*To generalize is to take leave of one's senses.
If you enjoy these, another thousand like them awaits you in LANDMINES OF THE MIND.

So many religions out there! Religious affiliation is a lottery ticket. The winning ticket, if there is one, will be announced in the hereafter, if it exists.
In a single male ejaculation, there are some 100 million sperm cells. Since each cell carries a slightly different genetic makeup and would create a different person, each human being who ever lived won the lottery of life at odds of 100 million to one. And yet people complain of bad luck.
In a traditional, theocentric society, the four values of love, marriage, sex, and procreation come as part of a single package.We moderns have unwrapped the package and disassembled the toy.
Statements like "I really love you!" and "You are beautiful!" are entrance fees.
The Pill made prudence prudery.
Humankind does not deserve itself.

If you enjoy these, another 1500 like them await you in LANDMINES OF THE MIND. Sometimes amusing; often shocking; always thought-provoking.

"Witty, startling, honest aphorisms that undercut complacency and provide new perspectives on politics, religion, and sex."
-Stanley Friedman, author of Dickens's Fiction

"Excellent..Truth telling, no matter how offensive or shocking to some...Brilliant, incisive and witty aphorisms"
--The Queens Bar Bulletin (November 2006)
