I know you don't care about reality, but you are committing the is-ought fallacy. You are describing the way things are, not the way things should be. Yes, most people can't handle rational arguments, or truth, and need hypocrites to hide things from them. That's why politics is surrounded by people who never say the truth.. not really. That doesn't mean that's the way things _ought_ to be, specially not the way *you* should act. -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
