Amos, I am not trying to change your opinion or even try to alter it. It is not important to me. My point is that information was believed by many in this country for a number of years. Using that info to say someone was/is lying is to suggest that dislike and even hatred can cause one to act in an irrational matter.

Arrogance can be amplified by ones' reluctance or even an inability to see simple fact for what it is. Sometimes that arrogance is used as a method to demonstrate superiority. If that be your premise, I feel fortunate to be at the level I am. Rationalization can be used for showing truth as well as trying to show untrue reasons for conduct. Your continuing to do the latter is very evident.
