“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth..."

 



"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognise the truth at all." 
“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.”
~ Valery Legasov from HBO's Chernobyl (written by Craig Mazin and Jonathan Renck)

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.
