Not if the person is in fact dedicated to truth, unlike the magician. Curtis isn't, you aren't (as I just got done noting), Barry obviously isn't. So it isn't at all surprising that the three of you would be anxious to portray a truth-teller as a deceiver, is it? > but this is how you choose to spend your life force, so I > hope is gratifying for you. Not being concerned about the truth, you probably aren't aware that there are many people who have dedicated their lives to the truth, sometimes even *sacrificed* their lives to the truth. Truth and truth-telling have generally been highly regarded throughout history, something to strive for. http://www.ridenhour.org/prizes_truth_telling.html (I wouldn't consider myself to come close to deserving such a prize because my efforts have been so limited.) But there are always those who can't see the importance of truth, who find it inconvenient and annoying, not worth the effort; and even those who believe truth just gets in the way of their needs and desires and whims. And sometimes, of course, such people are just cowards who *fear* the truth. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray27" steve.sundur@ > wrote: > > > > > > I wonder if anyone even reads those rebuttals.
