Hi Mike et. al.

To set the record straight, I am not siding with Moriarty; just trying to hi-lite what and why some "followers, sheeple etc." do what they do, as per his first three paragraphs.

"We elect politicians because they lie to us. Any politician who told the truth would be tarred, feathered and driven out of town. We demand they lie to us. Likewise any bright young spark that wants to earn a nice income can enter the financial writing market and soon make his fortune.

It’s not necessary that he or she know anything about what they are writing about. If you want subscribers, all you have to do is learn to tell them just what they want to hear. People will pay big bucks for liars just as they elect them time after time and pay big bucks for their subscription services.

It’s because we don’t want to know the truth, we want our fantasies catered to. We want to believe that no matter how stupid we are, everyone else is just as stupid."

Good Luck to all!
