I Can't Be Wrong


"How can what an Englishman believes be hearsay? It's a contradiction in terms."

George Bernard Shaw
Late 19th/early 20th century Irish writer

National pride, such as that expressed by Mr. Shaw, is not the only form of self-delusional thinking.

The more you believe anything the less open you are to alternative views.

Not a good thing.
