Three things that are true

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public" - Henry Louis Mencken.

"You can fool some of the people all of the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time; but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time" - Abraham Lincoln.

"People who have once bought into a lie will do anything rather than admit they have been fooled. The strongest defenders of fraudsters and liars are their dupes; and the result is that often, in order to get rid of an unjust or stupid law, one has to wait for a whole generation of dupes to die out" - myself.

all the three dicta are sound and make good sense.. but regarding what are you stating them?

Something where most LJ-ers would disagree with me, even violently.
