i figured quite quickly that the quotation ...Milo:<br /><br />i figured quite quickly that the quotation was not properly identified when it referred to the "silent majority." <br />I think there is even a bigger problem. what about all the actors and models who claim they have drunk a featured beer, brushed their teeth with a revolutionary whitening toothpaste, or lost hundreds of pounds of baby fat? We have false testimony in many places. it is endemic. When I was chair of my department in college, I checked on appoicant's resumes. I regularly found outright lies or exaggerations. In a couple of cases, the references were written by the applicant under another name. When I investigated one obvious questionalble resume, the applicant threatened to sue me.<br /><br />I take the issue you are dealing with as just part of the practice of selling onself or one's belief. For the person who believes, it does not matter what the truth, logic, facts, or manipulation of the argument entails. This is the sad part of it. <br /><br />We live in a world where a large percentage of people believe obama is not a U.S. citizen, that we are heading to socialism and that there are death panels. <br /><br />I am now subbing in K-12 classes and will probably begin teaching next month. It is terrifying what little is believed and how much is blind faith. One of my students bragged that he was an independent thinkiner. I asked him who were his heroes. Stalin and Hitler.<br /><br /><br />to end on a tone of levity: Do you know why the Unitarians do not believe in Heaven? Because they are against gated communities.
