Ridicule is often used when arguments fail
And sometimes, certain people, invite ridicule. I mean, come on, Mark Lane’s:
Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK
Can you imagine an Albert Einstein publishing:
Last Word: My Pronouncement on the Relation Between the Theory of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
Or Gandhi publishing:
Last Word: My Pronouncement on How World Peace can be Achieve
Was Mark Lane a little puffed up with a strong sense of self-importance? Yeah, I think so.
