Just the way democracy works. The Demos has a very short memory.

The truth is the best. Liberty and freedom are the fundamental truth of human existence.

"Liberty and freedom are the fundamental truth of human existence."

That gave me a chuckle.

You must lie to yourself before you can lie to others.

"...the fundamental truth of human existence." Goodness. You do like sweeping generalizations.

How about these statements concerning the realities of human nature: "Death and Taxes". "Stupid and stupider". Perhaps "There is a limit to the Universe but no limit to human stupidity." Perhaps substitute "absurdity" for "stupidity".

Aren't those fun? Aren't they more true than mere sophism?

[Iris7]

"Liberty and freedom are the fundamental truth of human existence."

Perhaps you do not know you sound just like Rousseau, Danton, Robespierre, Marx the younger, Proudhon, Bakunin, and the Social Revolutionaries so efficiently liquidated by Lenin?

Leftist, man, stone cold hard core Leftism. Shoot, don't forget Ho Chi Minh and Mao Tse Tsung. "But not ME, I am not lying! They were, not me!!" That is what every last one of those guys said, troop.
