That kind of statement, submitted without documentation will live on forever, with a life of its own. "It came from the BBC, it must be true." It's like the "study" that counted the number of Iraqi deaths from Johns Hopkins. Everyone looked at the number, no one looked at the method of study or the built in errors. |

"Any man who would make an X rated movie should be forced to take his daughter to see it". - John Wayne There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it". Henry II: I marvel at you after all these years. Still like a democratic drawbridge: going down for everybody. Eleanor: At my age there's not much traffic anymore. From The Lion in Winter. | |
