Quote by Rodney Dangerfield

My old man never liked me. He gave me my allowance in traveler's checks.

My old man never liked me. He gave me my allowance in travel

Summary

The quote suggests a broken relationship between the speaker and their father. The use of traveler's checks to give allowance implies a lack of emotional investment and coldness in their dynamic. Instead of a typical, personal form of payment, such as cash, the father's choice emphasizes their indifference towards the speaker. This short statement reveals the absence of a warm, nurturing bond between the two, indicating a strained or distant connection characterized by neglect or disinterest.

At the heart of the debate over intelligent design is this question: Can a scientific explanation of the history of life include the actions of an unseen higher being? The proponents of intelligent design, a school of thought that some have argued should be taught alongside evolution in the nation's schools, say that the complexity and diversity of life go beyond what evolution can explain.Biological marvels like the optical precision of an eye, the little spinning motors that propel bacteria and the cascade of proteins that cause blood to clot, they say, point to the hand of a higher being at work in the world.http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/22/national/22design.html
