NOTICE TO POTENTIAL PARENTS

Out of respect for the victim, I am willing to leave that part alone as long as others are as well.

So this old farmer slaughters a couple of pigs and leaves them strung up from a tree to bleed out. Then he goes about the rest of his chores, returning an hour or two later to find one of the pigs missing.
Weeks turn to months, no sign of a culprit anywhere. But the farmer is patient. One day, he's shootin' the breeze w/ the neighbor over the fencepost. The neighbor asks him if he ever did find out who took that old pig. "Yeah, just now", says the farmer. He'd never told anyone about no missing pig, not even his wife. The better part of valor is?
Hear me people: We now have to deal with another race - small and feeble when our fathers first met them, but now great and overbearing. Strangely enough they have a mind to till the soil and the love of possessions is a disease with them. These people have made many rules which the rich may break but the poor may not. They take their tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule.
Chief Sitting Bull, speaking at the Powder River Conference, 1877

Discretion of course, amigo. Couldn't have said it better my self. (You know, depending on whatever it is you were saying!)
Antigen:
Over your head, maybe?
That it is wrong for a man to say he is certain of the objective truth of a proposition unless he can provide evidence which logically justifies that certainty. This is what agnosticism asserts and in my opinion, is all that is essential to agnosticism.
--Thomas Henry Huxley, English biologist

Well the moral of the story is obvious.
Its relevance, like yours, well, not as much.
