Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Faced With A Barrage Of Lies, How Can We Defend The Truth?


Excerpted from the 9/4/17 column by Charles M. Blow in the New York Times
____________________________________
How is one supposed to debate policy with someone who almost never tells the truth?  How can a liar negotiate treaties or navigate international disputes?  Without truth, everything falls apart, or more precisely, nothing can be established.

 I vacillate between rage and sorrow that our country has come to such a pass.  And yet, what is done is done.  America made a colossal mistake, and it cannot be easily undone.
