As to that Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind I speak of so often…
“When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.”
–attributed to “Dresden James” (whoever that is)
Well, “whoever that is” was/is a very wise man.
Perri, I used that construction, because I have searched for ANY info I can find on “Dresden James” and come up dry. All I find are a few comments attributed to “Dresden James” but nothing else.
Still, I agree that it is a very trenchant comment on the passing scene…
Oh, please, don’t think I was being critical of your posting. I wasn’t. I have never heard anything more about Dresden James than you have posted here.
“[C]ritical”–no, not in a negative sense, nor did I take it so, but it was a (positively) critical observation, useful in clarifying the lack of identification of the speaker, if that makes any sense. 🙂
