    What does that say about our society? Can you imagine taking the same attitude as a scientist? Nothing would ever work because it relies on foundational truth and integrity. The reason lying in politics is acceptable is because the citizenry is allowing it through the ballot box. These idiots can’t do science or politics but they have the same voting rights as everyone else.

      Lying works because our schools don’t teach critical thinking anymore. They are so obsessed with rote, bullshit memorization that there isn’t any room or time left for critical thinking
