Quote for today:

“Sadly, I am compelled to agree with Francis Kelsey who wrote in 1911 that “so long as human nature remains the same, it may be presumed that men will be ready to believe what they wish to believe, and that no hoax will be too preposterous to be without a following.”

The foregoing has been posted before here, but given present day politics it bears repeating.

BTW, its Original author is unknown, but it was used in a PBS production “The Michigan Relics.” Good show, you might want to watch it.
