Quote of the week

Pulitzer Prize winner (fiction, 1943),  muckraking journalist, socialist, politician Upton Sinclair once wrote this memorable line:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, 
when his salary depends upon him not understanding it."

That could be paraphrased for other situations.  Here's one:

"It is difficult to get a politician to tell the truth,  

when telling lies will get him more votes."
