I keep a number of famous quotations posted around my office at work, and one of my favorites has always been from Voltaire: "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong." There's something both heroic and chilling about calling bullshit on the powerful–especially when we live in times when government officials at all levels are becoming more aggressive towards skeptical citizens who find themselves disagreeing with the official line. |

"[Our critics] are absolutely right. We are professional liars," said Everett Davis, founder of the Internet-based Reference Store, which supplies pumped-up, but false, resumes for job-seekers having trouble landing work.

-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941 |
