Someone tells me there a a pile of free money on the other side of the door I am about to open. I don't believe that simply because it was told to me, neither do I disbelieve it. I simply suspend judgment until I have evidence one way or the other. I am an afreemoneyist until I have a reason to believe. To heck with the law of the excluded middle. Life is not so cut and dried.
