“You are entitled to believe anything you want, but this does not make you correct.”


As soon as any institution of our society or any person in a position to directly influence an outcome (for example, a local, state or federal prosecuting attorney or a member of Congress) agrees with your beliefs, I’ll give them credence.

I don't believe in the fallacy of popularity. I also don't believe in the fallacy of false authority. I am not a courtier, I don't feel a need to force my opinion to coincide with that of the powers that be.

I believe they have been misled, and are objectively wrong. For quite some time, i've pondered the notion of presenting you with my theory of what happened and why. How we came to be so far away from where we should be on this issue. I think an opponent and critic will be more useful in fleshing out the theory than would be an advocate.

Several people on my side have informed me that they think I am right, but I think a critical eye may often see more and differently. One of these days perhaps.
