Which is the best weapon against truth? A lie, a deny, an ignore?

That it's a hoax, a fake, a liberal conspiracy. To do what and why? They never tell you that. They are even more adamant about it today than yesterday. More strident. More certain. Evidence to the contrary is ignored but that is what is "inconvenient" to them.

That it was killing birds and other living things and polluting the foods we eat, the soil, the air we breathe. I'm sure the pesticide makers wanted to shut her up and deny and lie to protect their bottom line. Money always trumps everything. Even life itself. More's the pity.
It is an odd way to insist on innocence. Not calm and measured and thoughtful and logical but frantic, possessed, obsessed, reactive. Odd but possible?

Do you care about what went on before and where or do you know all you need to know to live your life and don't want to take on more that you don't need just because it's out there?

You can go through the courts and do it officially or just use the name. Some authors use pseudonyms. Actors/actresses do it all the time. Would you change your name for any reason other than marriage? Why?
Will William and Kate's kids be first in the line of succession because William is the oldest? Will there be a sibling rivalry between William and Harry? How does that work?

There is nothing usual about any of it but there is an agreement/conspiracy to pretend that all is great because if you upset him there will be he** to pay. So they pray and play along as if it's normal. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where the young boy demanded that everyone think good thoughts. Those who didn't were sent to the "cornfield". Whatever was there was frightening beyond measure so everyone thought "good" thoughts. Woe woe woe. So how's it going for ya? Eveything's real good isn't it? Real good. Sigh. less
