<<People determined to believe that a vast conspiracy assassinated President Kennedy believe that the absence of evidence of the conspiracy proves the vastness and cleverness of the conspiracy.>>

By George F. Will

Don't know how we could ever live our lives in the light without the great and good flashlight of that seeker of the truth, George Will. If I keep reading him, I won't even need a flashlight. Looks like he just charged up all the batteries in the house, with his access to the true, the good, and the beautiful. Plato's philosopher King lives. ;-)
