I'd be glad to stay and play dueling quotations with you, but I have another meeting to attend, so I'll leave you with this one:
"Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings — that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide."
— Buddha
If you'd like us to believe that Simcox is sincere, some pictures of the fence he was supposed to have started last month (or maybe just the ongoing construction?) might be a good start.
Enjoy your meeting. And when you come back, perhaps you could start to apply your own quote to how you view this ABC-inspired slander campaign against Chris Simcox.
