When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. ~Theodore Dalrymple

" I do not believe that every one is false. I will not believe that hope tells a flattering tale or that friendship is only a name, or that true love has fled from the earth and that the fear of God has vanished. Love is life. So much love, so much life, and few women, have been so well loved as I."
~Amelia E. Barr (1831-1919)

Thanks for the great humor!
Donald..you know, of course, that truth is often said in jest! :)
LOL! In my neck of the woods we call this the "honey wagon!" Now that you mention it, it does seem like the most appropriate container for politicians' promises.
OOPS! A freudian slip? The last post is me! LOL!
Unfortunately, too appropriate!
A fun post, Jan:)
rockync..shoot, there for a moment I thought that I'd gained another reader! LOL
As for the honey...well, their words are sort of dripping with it, aren't they? :)
Gee, Jan, if it means that much to you, I can sign in under my alter ego once in a while... :)
