Of course denial and truth are joined at the hip. They liars tell lies to deny truth. Denial is never necessary if the liars don't lie and admit the truth but with Pols that is a dreamy fantasy never-to-be in reality. Mostly. Hey it goes with the territory. Gonna make something of it? When you lie down with pigs you're gonna get dirty, right? Well when you cavort with Pols you're gonna get dirty too, figuratively. Physical dirt. Ethical dirt. Mental dirt. Spiritual dirt. Physical dirt. Dirt is dirt. The nature/type/species doesn't matter does it?
