I've overheard this conversation before

From Prairie Weather:

You're kidding, is that true?

Sure it's true.

But what proof do you have?

What does it matter! It's what everyone believes.

So it's not really true.

Okay, Maybe not. But it works.

Not very honorable.

"Honorable"? What the hell! Some naive concept? I tell you, it works. People believe it. It's not about honorable for God's sake.

But you can't run a democracy this way, it just isn't...

Democracy? You've got to be out of your mind. That is not what this is about. It's about winning.

Well, about half of us in America are trying to preserve democracy, to find out what's true and not just how many lies people are willing to believe.

Go ahead. That way you lose.

Read this. Listen to this.
