Scrutinizing the Truth

As previously mentioned, I subscribe to “A Word a Day,” not just for the vocab shot in the arm, but for its “Thought for Today.” Check this out:

I will remember that what has brought us up from savagery is a loyalty to truth, and truth cannot emerge unless it is subjected to the utmost scrutiny — will you not agree that a society which has lost sight of that, cannot survive? – Billings Learned Hand, American jurist and philosopher (27 Jan 1872-1961)

To answer the question, Yes, I will agree.

This may be the greatest insult to our society brought about by Trumpism, i.e., that the majority of American voters don’t seem to care that most of what comes out of the president’s mouth is clearly false.
