61. I *always* get nervous

when I get a hard sell on anything. A car, an insurance policy, a house, and a political or current affairs opinion that doesn't make sense.

If I'm pressed to accept something at face value, particularly when I feel that I don't have enough information to see the big picture, I ask questions.

Reluctance to accept the prima fascia when I see problems doesn't make me a stupid proletariat that is being "divisive" "difficult" or "delusional", it means I am not going to be sold a barrel of piss that is gussy-ed up and public relation-ed to high heaven as "fine Scotch".

We've already been down that road as a nation with the fine whiskey of patriotism, WMD, Patriot Act, mission creep, etc., only to find out that piss is all that is in that barrel.
