He said the ideal was "imperfectly realized" - this implies
recognition of the compromise and recognition that there was room
for improvement. "Lie" is too strong an accusation to apply to an
alternate interpretation of events. "Opinion different from Nessie's
(or mine, anyone else's) opinion" doesn't equal "lie". If it did, we
could all rightfully call at least half the people on this list liars just
because they don't agree with us.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
