Random quote It’s quite remarkable how much of what gets into print, especially in
journalism but also, I’ve found, in books, is wrong, just because people copy
what they’ve seen elsewhere.
Well. A president said: everybody lies. Freedom of speech and press encourage this, if only inadvertently. And that is the point. Opinions, notions and ideas do not need be true.I can advise friends and acquaintances on how to grow tomato plants. But, if the issue of adequate sunlight does not come up, all bets are off. Same with adequate watering, soil preparation and plant feeding. My failure, on any of these issues is equal to the failure of the friend or acquaintance. Neither of us lied. All things equal, I can grow damned good tomatoes. This year, all things will not be equal. No one lied, except ma nature.
