perception and reality regarding tool boxes on trucks

[Ruth Sponsler <jk5554@YAHOO.COM>]

The philosophy that 'perception is reality' is the

opposite of what a scientifically trained person

should have.  It's the philosophy of a propagandist,

not a scientist.



So, if 'perception is reality,' this therefore means

that all of the distortions in the article are _true_.



'Just deal with it.'  



How are we to deal with this?  I presume that you want

us to 'deal with it' by reinforcing and supporting the

distortions...in other words, in other words, to

create a Big Lie.  And along with that comes all the

unnecessary expenditures from Joe Ratepayer and Joe

Taxpayer that are necessary to support the

distortions.



Truth hurts.  But it hurts less than a Big Lie,

although the Big Lie may be comfortable for a little

while until the truth comes out.
