"Most people, in fact, will not take the trouble in finding out the truth, but are much more inclined to accept the first story they hear."
~ Thucydides, from his History of the Peloponnesian War
Hat tip Stephen Hicks who asks, "Has this insight changed much in 2400 years?"

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
