Platitudes

"A lie told often enough becomes the truth." and who said that but Joseph Goebels of the Nazi Party.

Bill , two points from your blog really sttod out to me.

Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.( True far to often)

And of all the sales jobs i have tried over the years nothing makes me prouder than my current training to become a saleman for God. You have much better support than any other company.

Bill:  Another platitude is that nobody gets paid until SOMEBODY sells something!  I was at a party once when this lady started badmouthing real estate agents and other sales people because they were ALL sleeze.

I asked her if she really thought that ALL sales people were sleeze and even knowing that I was a salesperson, she said yes.  I then asked her to return her paychecks to her employer because she thought that the money that was used to pay her was gotten through sleezy moves.

She didn't understand what I was saying.

P.S.  That quote was attributed to Goebels?  I thought it was something that the Republican National Party came up with! ;-)

Bill,

I suspect that you anticipated that the quote: "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." would lead to politics very quickly.  Let me add my own 2-cents:  why not vote this election for a candidate for office other than a Republican or a Democrat?  If for no other reason than you can then say to your friends' complaints later on:  Don't blame me, I voted Libertarian.

Bill - Have Yogi'isms risen to the level of platitudes yet?

Bill - it was primarily Perot & the Reform Party that got Clinton elected. There have never been that many libertarians to have had that large an effect on the outcome. Perot got almost 19% of the vote, mostly taken from the Republican side. More than enough to make up the 6% edge that Clinton had.

Which led to the first stretching of the truth with the Democrats calling Clinton's election by the majority a mandate.

Bill - not many are really interested in discovering the truth, especially if their minds are already made up.

This is getting berry interesting to say the least. Bring it on folks, this is fun.

Bill - I'm not sure (I'm definitely not) I'm sold on the direction of the comment thread, but damn man... I love ya.  Very well said. 

As far as politics go, I've witnessed, read, watched, learned, and lived under it... for a mere 32 years.  Take this for whatever it is worth.  Tell you what, I love the saying and titled a blog, "If your mind's not open, shut your mouth too."  That doesn't apply to just 'liberals' or 'conservatives'... that applies to EVERYONE!   I watch and listen most nights of my life... what every extreme of the media has to say, what every 'Happy Medium' we've explored, and I'm sickened by the one thing that all this hoopla is all about.  Take your thumb and rub it against your pointer and middle fingers, follow the money trail.

I'm not happy about the current administration, I won't lie about that.  I think they are fools that have gotten richer because of our foolishness.  If this weren't public, I'd go off on a tangent.  Thankfully, I reside in the dark room to the left, as you enter the stairs to my humble abode.  Then again, perhaps I should go public with all that.  When (and I did say when) money becomes one less thing to argue about... we'll think of something new.  That's who we are, trying to evolve... without truly evolving.

(I guess I went off on a tangent)  I'm just trying to evolve, man.
