    The Golden Rule

    There's an old joke about The Golden Rule: he who has the gold makes the rules. Way back in the pre-Internet days, that usually meant the owner of the printing press determined what got to determine what was or was not published....

    Then lecture the guy behind The Brutal Lying. He's lying. It's that simple and he knows it.  Civility is calling him out, not putting up with it. This site is supposedly NOT a propaganda site but a truth in discussion....

    I dont have much to say here, but I'm glad we're getting into pop-culture too! I honestly didn't think of this as an epistemic mess that auto-generates polarities until picking this as a topic, so I've grown in my discernment just having asked this question....
