Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.

All the History that Fits 0

It is an unpleasant reality that truth can be divisive. Indeed, it can alienate those who don’t want to face it.

Just across the river and up the road a piece, the war against truth continues:

The York County Board of Supervisors is considering a resolution that threatens to withhold funding from the county school system if educators teach “divisive” ideas.

Natch, it’s the persons who don’t want to hear the truth who would arrogate to themselves the right to decide what’s “divisive.”

Car Talk 0

Not content with spamming my phone, sometimes multiple times a day, the car warranty scammers have resorted to using the mail.

I have received two car warranty scam letters in the past two days.

Aside:

When put down in black and white (or, to be more accurate, in one letter in black and green and in the other black and light red), the hockey puck is even more obvious in print than it is in a phone call.

Plus, I checked with a local Ford dealer in regards to something other. My vehicle is under factory not-about-to-expire warranty for three more years, even though I purchased it used. (I would not get an extended warranty from anyone other than the manufacturer on a bet and probably not even then.)

I must say, though, that this must be a lucrative scam if the scammers are actually willing to pay for postage to perpetuate it . . . .
