Re: Carlos' Specific Statement

Daniel, 

Just to clarify, every slanderer styles himself as a clever guy and usually  makes a mixture of facts and fiction,  in order for his slanders to appear acceptable to people. 

Then they use the fact that "not all is false" -- in order to make their false dollars circulate...

Yet the one who circulates false dollars will not convince law agents that  "since not everything in the false dollars is false, then the false dollars should be allowed to circulate, in order for people to decide for themselves which dollars are false, and which are true!"

That is why Editors usually are responsible for what they publish. 

Got it now? 

Best regards,   Carlos Cardoso Aveline.
