Four lights indeed

You cannot tell the truth anymore.  If you do, you'll be attacked. Maybe it will be for "mansplaining".

For anyone not familiar, I like to use the scene from Star Trek to illustrate a point.  Captain Picard is being forced to deny the evidence of his own eyes, and say what his captors want him to say.

The point?  I think it more like the kind of dystopia that awaits us when we allow an entity to intimidate us into saying what the controlling agents wants us to say.

To resist may mean a lifetime of misery and loneliness.  You might have to have some luck to be rescued at the last moment.  The temptation to betray may be extreme.

How many people have betrayed in similar circumstances?  Imagine having to answer that one if you are on the "hot seat".

There are indeed four lights.


Seems like deja vu all over again.


It is a shame that an obvious truth is now controversial.

If believing one's sex can be changed, even though that is impossible, then why is it hard to believe that AGW is a hoax?  Furthermore, why is it hard to believe that these people want to get you to believe false things as a matter of principle?
