The truth puts on its shoes
The Tommywonk take down of Paul Smith’s BS post about recycling “myths” highlights a big differecne between the liberal and the conservative blogosphere.
Hint: It is like the difference between actual thought and simply reciting things that you’ve heard.

Says the guy who basically reposts everything from other sites. And with good reason: We can actually UNDERSTAND IT rather than trying to decipher your own drivel.
That hurts because my top priority this summer was to make my drivel 20% more decipherable.
I guess I’ll have to redouble my efforts.
What makes Pauls reposting of the “recycling myths” piece is that a lot of people are predisposed to believe that recycling, while a nice idea for reducing landfill accumulation, isn’t worth the cost.
Those who hold to the conventional wisdom expect environmentalists to wilt as soon as the rigors of hard-headed economics are brought to bear on the issue. The conventional wisdom just happens to be wrong in this case.
If the truth puts on its shoes, isn’t that a coverup?
I’m reminded of the old saying, “If a man wears shoes, the whole world is covered with leather.”
