I certain said no such thing. But it should give us pause that
we support and use such persons and tactics when it suits our
desires and then condemn as if they are utterly depraved and
that we should obliterate them from the face of the earth in the
next mood and set of purposes that hit us. It might even stir
us to a bit deeper reflection instead of continuously thrashing
about, now befriending and condoning, now destroying and utterly
despising. But most people and indeed entire countries prefer
simple little sub-slices of the truth at a time and then only
those that are too their liking.
