Not quite correct. What Franklin said, published in The Daily Universal Register (which later became The Times) was: "The trouble with quotes in the Register is that you can never know if they are genuine."

What?

YOU do not like taking liberties with ancient quotes to bring them up to date?

Yes, you dummy! When Al Gore invented the Internet, he embedded an anti-mendacity filter. It uses a minimum of three major search engines to verify the factualness of all submitted content, PRIOR to posting. Ben Franklin knew this all along!

I think Walt Whitman said it best

"Whatever satisfies the soul is truth."

or at least that the quote on the inside of my Liberte' yogurt lid.

Ed

OK, my work here is DONE!!

It was Abe Lincoln that posted that on AlGore's internet!

I "seen" him do it!

Oh, to backtrack, "Happy 'tanks'giving!
