Lynch really is the guy isn't he?
Let's see he used
Argumentum ad antiquitatem (always been this way/never happened)
Argumentum ad hominem (Campbell is "only" a geoligist)
Argumentum ad ignorantiam (all PO methodologies are wrong
Argumentum ad logicam (Strawman -chicken little)
Argumentum ad verecundiam (appeal to his authority)
More I suppose but I quit paying attention.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
-- Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Government (July 1, 1854)
