| Message | What has? The notion that a government agency should define truth? Or are you claiming the definition of a falsehood is something that has been proven to be false? So then, what is false? If I want to print that I created the universe five minutes ago and everything you remember was planted in your memory by me and therefore I should be worshipped as a god, how can you prove that false? |
