Each of the ten bad arguments really amounts to “life is unfair, so why not let the baby atone for that unfairness with its life?” His citation of Swift’s dictum that you cannot use logic to persuade someone out of a position that he hadn’t used logic to get to is well taken.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
