Then, the gov't doth protest too much and we fear that it may be at least a little true. Finally, once the dust has settled and the trail is cold, the gov't launches a 'full investigation' and finds nothing, and by then we all say, 'how can I care about what happened way back then when I am in such peril today?'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-77830886854013335602011-06-29T20:21:13.305-05:002011-06-29T20:21:13.305-05:00Why bother reading an article, when you can pounce...Why bother reading an article, when you can pounce and show off your superior knowledge :)<br /><br />BTW: Gandhi never said that either ;)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797317910988407423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-59534558187284135672011-06-29T14:02:04.056-05:002011-06-29T14:02:04.056-05:00Ummm... that's what it says at the Christian S...Ummm... that's what it says at the Christian Science Monitor link.
