of Spam! Issue numb 27: "DENIAL
IS A RIVER IN AFRICA!"
What is denial? Depends on what
is truth. "What is truth?"
Where have I heard that before? Who cares.
On with the show.
Webster's
dictionary defines denial as 1: rejection
of a request, 2: refusal to admit the truth
of a statement or charge: also, assertion
that something alleged is false, 3: disavowal,
4: restriction on one's own activity or desires.
Webster
defines truth as 1: truthfulness, honesty,
2: the real state of things: fact, 3: the
body of real events or facts: actuality, 4:
a true or accepted statement or proposition,
5: agreement with fact or reality: correctness.
Webster
defines me as...
Webster
defines you as...
Well...
how do you define me? Honest? Misguided? A
liar?
Webster
defines a lie detector as "an instrument
for detecting physiological evidence of the
tension that accompanies lying." But
smooth operators are notorious for showing
no signs of stress when lying. While the psychologically
pathological have these ordinary liars beat
by truly believing their own lies.
"Feeling
confused? Going over a rough patch? Close
Curtains. Draw the Latch. Sit by the Fire
and Spin. Take a Cup. Drink it up. Then call
the truth squad and lie detectors in."
Sings The Adman.
