There's something about the Houdini act that is not always made clear - about the escape act in general.

A quick example of that is a woman who said she'd been healed of throat cancer where the faith healer admitted he touched her on the forehead.

To recognize that nature has neither a preference for our species nor a bias against it takes only a little courage.

Nature doesn't cheat - people do.

The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.

I believe in the basic goodness of my species, because that appears to be a positive tactic and quality that leads to better chances of survival- and in spite of our foolishness, we seem to have survived.

I can go into a lab and fool the rear ends off any group of scientists.
