Unreliable Source
Here’s the first in a semi-regular feature at nicolecushing.com, the pessimistic quote quiz. It’s fairly simple. I give you a quote (of the cynical, jaded, or downright misanthropic variety), you tell me who said it. No prizes except bragging rights (and the “pessimistic fun” of playing).
Our first quote expresses a rather jaded opinion of those institutions of law and order…governments. Here it is:
“….governments, all governments, at least on occasion, lie. And some of them do it all the time — some of them do it only every second statement — but, by and large, governments distort the facts in order to remain in office.”
WHO SAID IT?….
A. Former WWF Wrestler and Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura
B. The Late Astronomer and Television Personality Carl Sagan
C. Voltaire
Leave your guess in the comments section. Answer to be announced next Tuesday (6/22).
