“Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
~Samuel Clemens

The Big Lie: "Make the lie big, Make it simple, Keep saying it, And eventually they will believe it." AH.

"Arguments must therefore be crude, clear and forcible, and appeal to emotions and instincts, not the intellect." JG

National issues (slavery/racism, income inequality, pandemics and pathetic health care, weak unions) are not solved with more states' rights. Global problems (climate change, migration, trade, war, pandemics) are not solved with more nationalism.

We are an arrogant species, believing our fantasy based "facts" are better than the other person's fake facts.
If you are wrong, it will be because you are not cynical enough.
The older we get, the less "Life in Prison" is a deterrent.
Always wear a proper mask when out and about. The life you save could be both yours and mine.
