Subject: RE: BS: WMDs, Iran and Bush
Some believe that the last person standing (or speaking) is correct.
Not so.
People who are confident that their views are the truth often give up fighting with the delusional -- who will say, do, misconstrue, spin, twist, and slither, in the overwhelming quest to win an argument.
Oddly, the ones who shut up and bow out first are often the most likely to be correct.
Trust me, I am not patting my own sorry ass.
Instead, I am supporting those who have been watching this crap for weeks, and do not have the time or energy to waste boxing with sheer curtains, but are instead out in the world doing what is right.
Hats off, and thanks, to CarolC.
You have done a spectacular job of addressing, repeatedly, but to no avail, relentless slipperiness.
But the game is rigged.
How can one do good in the world if one commits to responding to repetitive, disdainful demands for detailed, sourced, responses to questions and allegations that have long ago been discredited?
The rules seem to be "if you cannot provide detailed answers, to misleading questions, with multiple sources that are pre-approved by the questioner, at least three or four times per questions, then *I* win."
Bullshit rules.
Bullshit games.
Last person standing or posting may not hold a monopoly on truth.
Let them think they win, and go out and DO something.
(No offense CarolC, you have been DOING something... repeatedly, and expertly...but the target moves, and is covered in oil.)
