Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator. In most modern scientists this belief has died: it will be interesting to see how long their confidence in uniformity survives it.

I always prefer the big laugh. That is always the objective, especially with a film like Scary Movie 2. ↗
