Lies I tell you! All lies!

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

-- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

In general: your page have great contents, it is an excellent display of the good use of words.

Particularly of this post:
and then people say "I didn't know"... I tend to believe that people enjoy being used, controlled and pragmatically lied to, because then they get no responsabilities over what happens. It's a childish attitude that keep them from thinking and making a change (this doesn't make any better the one that decides to lie to others).
