"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." -- Alice In Wonderland
Believing the impossible is easy. Just ask the "W". Abstinence only education works. We are winning the war in Iraq.
We fly to the moon and cure diseases because someone believed the impossible. Galileo believed the impossible and was arrested for it. But earth still goes around the sun. We know that because Galileo did something harder to do and more important.
He disbelieved that which was true. Something every one knew was true. Something the authorities had declared to be an absolute fact.
Try it sometime. Try to unbelieve the stuff we all know is true. Politicians are all cheats. Lawyers are all liars. The news is all bad. Open your eyes try to see the other side. I met an honest lawyer once, he was working at Burger King.
