Getting At The Truth

The Quote
The hardest part about gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche. As long as that niche is occupied, evidence and proof and logical demonstration get nowhere. But once the niche is emptied of the wrong idea that has been filling it - once you can honestly say, I don't know, then it becomes possible to get at the truth.

The Author
Robert A. Heinlein

The Thought For Today
For me, Heinlein's quote beautifully describes the main reason American politicians struggle with their public image. Anyone care to chime in? If not, tomorrow's post will dwell making great fudge.

Good Luck and may a rose from a loved one be on your nightstand in the morning.
