More From S. I. Hayakawa

Laws, it is said, are for the protection of the people. it's unfortunate that there are no statistics on the number of lives that are clobbered yearly as a result of laws: outmoded laws; laws that found their way onto the books as a result of ignorance, hysteria or political haymaking; antilife laws; biased laws; laws that pretend that reality is fixed and nature is definable; laws that deny people the right to refuse protection. a survey such as that could keep a dozen dull sociologists out of mischief for months.

State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to congress. ... inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. no direct general power over these objects is granted to congress, and, consequently, they remain subject to state legislation.

As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. if we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances.
Faith Believe Gambling

We need to make our own the ancient pastoral wisdom which... encouraged pastors to listen more widely to the entire people of god. significant is saint benedict's reminder to the abbot of a monastery, inviting him to consult even the youngest members of the community: "by the lord's inspiration, it is often a younger person who knows what is best".
Faith Inspiration People
The most generous choices, especially the persevering, are the fruit of profound and prolonged union with god in prayerful silence.

Better risk loss of truth than chance of error--that is your faith-vetoer's exact position. he is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.
