During all the strident and emotional discussion about the Malibu Lagoon Restoration proposal, all the speakers and writers seem to have some truthful and some untruthful information. However, there is one advocate who stated the whole truth and nothing but the truth in this discussion when he recently wrote, “Sometimes I use my imagination in hopes that something good will happen. Sometimes it works and other times it backfires and I take the blame.”
How can anyone ever believe this person when he says he uses his imagination to fabricate a lie in an attempt to make people change their minds? What unmitigated gall and sophistry! Fairy tales are for fantasy. As the great American humorist wrote, “There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can’t tell the truth without lying.”
