Actually, knowledge does not exist at all. When it comes down to it, the things we "know" rely on our belief in the truthfulness of our senses. Our senses cannot verify themselves to be representing reality. So, we don't ever "100% know" anything.
In my opinion, it is very arrogant (yet wholly practical) for us to forget this.
Haha. The Apple ][ always brings back such fond memories.... I always had so much fun (in 3rd/4th) grade when I would copy the BASIC programs out of the 3-2-1 contact magazines at the school library. And those late nights up with my egomaniacal friend who would force me to write horrible text based games, "Less than Mortal Kombat" being our crowing achievement (years later)! It got 200 downloads on AOL! (lol)
Also, crime rates have gone down over the last 10-20 years, while welfare spending has increased... not causation, I know, but it throws a wrench in a lot of anti welfare arguments.

You know, I'm going to start doing that.
