Another thought here: How can you possibly "not care" that there are several people on this forum who *routinely and deliberately* tell falsehoods? This makes no sense to me. If you don't care about dishonesty, what *can* you care about? Dishonesty underlies so many of the evils of this world. How can you just *ignore* it when it's right under your nose? Why didn't a dozen people jump on Shemp when he claimed Al Gore's father was a segregationist? How can you "not care" about an honorable public servant, no longer around to defend himself, being slandered in public with the aim of denigrating his son, the leader in the fight against global warming? If Al Gore Sr. were still alive and happened to be a participant here, if he spoke up to defend himself, apparently you'd be happy to dump on him as you do me. We have Bush in office today, rather than Gore, because of rampant dishonesty; we're losing our young men and women in Iraq, and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, because of rampant dishonesty, because that dishonesty was *tolerated*, because too many people didn't care about it. How can you not be against dishonesty wherever you find it? I truly don't understand that kind of thinking. Resistance to dishonesty should be a *reflex*, an instinct. It *should* be an addiction.
