Fantastic Piece of Logic

SydneyJ.Harris

One of the most fantastic pieces logic I've ever seen in print is the rationale of

capital punishment recently offered by Dr.George Grane ,the only syndicated columnist who signs himself,"Ph.D.,M.D."

He writes:"clergymen should stress the fact that without capital punishment,there would be no Christianity at all.If Jesus had not been sentenced to death on the cross,how could there be any Catholic or Protestant churches today?So Christianity owes its very existence to capital punishment."

With the use of this tremendous reasoning device ,what cannot be justified or history?For intense ,without the madness and despotism of King George I, there would have been on American Revolution and no United States of America.

Many of the King's advisers and members of Parliament were on favor of giving the colonies more freedom and self-government and lifting the harsh taxes that had been imposed on them .

But George I ,who eventually went mad,bitterly resisted such advice,and clamped down on the colonists.So we should be grateful to insanity and despotism for resulting in the U.S.A.Ergo,insanity and despotism are good things,just as capital punishment is.

Let's keep in mind ,too,that the Inquisition in Spain was a marvellous things --because it inaugurated the resistance to Roman Catholicism all over the Europe,culminating in the Protestant Reformation.So without the Inquisition ,there might have been no Protestant Church ,which owes its very existence to religious repression.

Ergo,once more,Inquisition are good ,just as capital punishment is right,because they result in the creation of a new,reformed church,Praise be to all Inquisitors everywhere.

There is no limit to what the imaginative historian can do with this device ,henceforth to be known as "Crane's Equation"Since most good things have arisen from the bad conditions that caused them ,we should therefore support all bad things on the basis that they will stimulate truth,reason,justice,freedom,and reform. Slavery is excellent, because it precipitated the Civil War,and thus took the black out of bondage .obviously ,without slavery there could have been no Emancipation. Infectious and contagious disease are marvellous things ,too,since without them we never would have developed out anti-toxins.

A man needs both a Ph.D and M.D to figure these matters out .I am eternally indebted to dr crane for a whole new slant new slant on history.



荒谬的逻辑 锡德尼.J.哈里斯

我在出版的书中见过的最荒谬的逻辑之一是乔治.克莱恩最近提出的死刑的逻辑依据。他是唯一一个通过稿件辛迪加在多加报纸上同时发表文章的专栏作家并自称“哲学博士，医学博士。”


他写道：“神职人员应该强调这样一个事实，那就是没有死刑就根本不会有基督教。如果耶稣没有在十字架上被绞死，怎么会有今天的天主教或新教呢？所以基督教的产生应该归功于死刑。”

使用这种极好的推理手段，历史上还有什么不能被证明呢？比如说，没有国王乔治一世的疯狂和专制，就不会有美国革命和美国。

很多国王的顾问和国会成员都赞成给予殖民地人民更多的自由和自治，并取消那些强加于他们的残酷的赋税。

但是乔治一世最终疯了痛苦地拒绝了这样一个忠告，并且不断压迫殖民地人民。所以我们应该感激疯狂和专制，这导致了美国的诞生。所以，就像死刑一样，疯狂和专制是好事。

让我们记住，西班牙的宗教法庭也是一件美妙的事—因为它引发了全欧洲对于罗马天主教的抵制运动，最终导致了新教改革。所以，没有宗教法庭就不会有新教，它的出现要归功于宗教的镇压。

所以，再一次，就像死刑是正确的一样，宗教法庭是好的，因为他们导致了一个新的，经过改革的教派的创立。所有的宗教法庭审判官都应该受到赞扬。

有了这样一个推理手段，从此以后就叫做“克莱恩等式”，想象力丰富的历史学家就不会受到任何限制了。既然大部分好的事情都是从换的事情演变过来的，我们因此应该支持所有的坏事，他们能激发真理，理性，公平，自由和改革。

奴隶制是卓越的，因为它引发了内战，因此帮助黑人拜托了奴役。很明显，没有奴隶制就不会有解放。感染病和触染病也是好的事情，因为没有他们我们无法发现抗毒素。

一个人需要既是一个哲学博士，又是医学博士来理解这些道理。我将永远感激克莱恩博士对于历史发表的一个新的见解。
