	toleration.htm
		Toleration was thus an inconvenient argument for protestants to attempt to impose on (or use as leverage against) catholic thinking, especially when they were being very careful at the same time to underscore their loyalty to the crown.
		Virtually no one went so far as to argue that salvation might be found in any religion (although Usbek comes close): polemically speaking, such a public denial of the exclusive truth claims of the Church would have been disastrous policy.
		Here it was the Church's honor, as it was to be the army's in the 1890s, that was pitted against truth; if Calas was to be rehabilitated, there was no way such an outcome could fail to discredit the Church.

	The Memory Hole > 2001: Powell & Rice Declare Iraq Has No WMD and Is Not a Threat
		But Powell wasn't the only senior administration official telling the truth before the truth became highly inconvenient.
		Secretary Powell: The sanctions, as they are called, have succeeded over the last 10 years, not in deterring him from moving in that direction, but from actually being able to move in that direction.
		So reconfiguring the sanctions, I think, helps us and continues to contain the Iraqi regime.

	Townhall.com :: Columns :: Visas for suspected terrorists? by Joel Mowbray
		State, however, finds the law inconvenient, so it intentionally distorts the law: "[I]f there are no grounds under the law on which to deny an alien a visa, the consular officer is required to issue a visa," Armitage wrote.
		State's response to FTTTF is in keeping with its reaction to my reporting on Visa Express in Saudi Arabia: it twists the truth and sticks to its guns in advancing the interests of foreigners.
		State has been successful in its Congressional lobbying to date by twisting the truth-something it does with great ease and regularity.

	The Jewish Ethicist: White Lie Redux
		Since this alteration was habitual, it carried a danger of accustoming the son to bending the truth.
		After you instruct your secretary to lie when it's inconvenient for you to talk to a customer, what do you expect him to do when it is inconvenient for him to help you with some urgent task?
		An equally important reason is that your concern is not really to avoid hurting someone's feelings.

	Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
		Political parties which passionately rejected all the practical conclusions to which the results of economic thought inevitably lead, but were unable to raise any tenable objections against their truth and correctness, shifted the argument to the fields of epistemology and methodology.
		Krugman's sin -- to use a religious term -- is to cloud that inconvenient reality by offering the false dichotomy between science and religion, and the Austrians play right into it.
		If you ask me, no school of economics deserves to wear the mantle of "science" -- and any school can be abused by adherents who treat it as a "religion," as the Austrians actually often do.

	John Quiggin: The triumph of postmodernism
		A piece of constructive advice to andy: keep Howard-Hating, ignore inconvenient facts about Howards promotion of civil society at home and abroad and play down the problems caused by "cultural commissars" and the Left will spend forever in Opposition.
		The same cannot be said for the New Lefts cultural wrecking ball which has wreaked devastation on the minds of liberal arts students, lured minorites into a destructive cycle of welfare-dependency and abused a humane immigration policy for purposes of ethnic branch-stacking.
		Regarding the "Culture Wars" in general, the minimal Republicans are looking quite...minimal, the quasi-seperatist ATSIC has been disbanded and 911 has mainstream Australian no longer takes seriously the po-mo, pee-cee, multi-culti fantasies of the Left.

	Nonviolence
		Nonviolence is a balanced way of living that seeks Truth and simultaneously addresses the four great evils, as well as all their lesser forms.
		Nonviolence is a way of living, not a strategy that is used when it is convenient and discarded when it appears inconvenient.
		Nonviolence and Truth are so intertwined that it is practically impossible to disentangle and separate them.

	Complaints
		Many new radicals insist that investing effort in trying to dig out the truth is an exercise in futility.
		To the radical ideologist, facts are troublesome and inconvenient.
		The simplest way to approach the truth-change question is to go in the back door and ask first, is there anything in existence that does not change?

	Forgiveness Quotations
		Forgiveness does not mean that we suppress anger; forgiveness means that we have asked for a miracle: the ability to see through mistakes that someone has made to the truth that lies in all of our hearts.
		It means forget inconvenient duties, then forgive yourself for forgetting.
		Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is again made clean.

	Al Gore 2008
		Paramount to release "An Inconvenient Truth" May 26th
		Over the next 48 minutes, Gore laced into the state of the media, lamenting the “systematic decay of the public forum,” and echoing Walter Lippmann’s belief that the propaganda emanating from the press corps was rendering America’s “dogma of democracy” void.
		Gore has long been quietly obsessed with excising the media from the politician-public relationship.

	The Religious Beliefs Of Our Presidents
		But, as historians develop more courage and more of them speak the truth out loud, more of them acclaim it his Deistic sentiments.
		He again evaded a direct answer, but, pointing to the pews of Washington, George Mason and George William Fairfax, who, like Washington, were vestrymen, said "There is no evidence that any of these men communed." Nearly all well-informed Episcopal clergymen know Washington was not a communicant, but they find it very inconvenient to admit it.
		William White, the first bishop of Sylvania, one of the most distinguished men in the history of the American episcopacy, a man of intellect, high character and honor.

	What Is Man? - Part II
		Neither does he explain why Stephen was awarded a pleasanter death than he was entitled to, while the aged King Henry, his predecessor, who had ruled England thirty-five years to the people's strongly worded satisfaction, was condemned to close his life in circumstances most distinctly unpleasant, inconvenient, and disagreeable.
		The truth is, He was not offended at "them" at all; He was only offended at their king, who had been false to an oath.
		King Henry is dead; Stephen, that bold and outrageous person, comes flying over from Normandy to steal the throne from Henry's daughter.

	Glenn W. Olsen
		Socrates believed passionately in something very particular, Athens and her laws, and something universal, that finally humans are obligated to find and live by the truth, however inconvenient or in conflict with a given society's ideas.
		Enculturation is, after all, but one of the issues, and most people are going to see not only their now diminished role as not simply a sign of loss of power but in some sense as the victory of untruth.
		Such general enculturation, found in every society, remained in the middle ages, whether in the hands of the master teaching his apprentice, the knight his squire, or the peasant mother her children.

	Pissed-Off Pollyana: Why didn't they ask about Byck?
		Samuel Byck was shot and eventually killed himself while hijacking a DC-9 he planned to crash into the Executive mansion and rid the world of Tricky Dick.
		The only problem is, the story of Samuel Byck is rather inconvenient to the "story" of how the Bush administration could not have foreseen the tragic events of that day.
		There is a section of the media who are talking about Byck; the entertainment reporters announcing the upcoming movie starring Sean Penn. Whew Good thing we know from good, "fair & balanced" sources not to listen to those Hollywood actor types (unless they are Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course).

	Debate exposes 200-year-old massacre - National - www.theage.com.au
		The truth of Tasmania's Risdon Cove massacre may be the subject of fierce dispute between historians, but to those who commemorated its bicentenary yesterday, what mattered was that it was being argued about at all.
		Philip Tardiff, one of the authors of a 2003 rebuttal, Whitewash, said Mr Windschuttle had relied on witnesses who took part in the attack, and he had tried to wish away inconvenient evidence.

	Truth and Reconciliation - New York Times
		Paul's ''picture-perfect memory'' means that he is acutely aware of these distortions: all the inconvenient facts stick to the ''flypaper'' of his mind.
		And there is a great deal of history in ''The Persistence of Memory.'' But, defying the weight of the past and its atrocities, this is a humane, rich and very personal book.
		Like the commission's hearings, ''The Persistence of Memory'' is a mixture of indictment, therapy and confession.

	New Media Musings
		For those who haven't heard, "An Inconvenient Truth" is the name of a new movie appearing in select theaters May 24.
		Gore has been asked this before, but he was eloquent in his response, touching on our civic responsibilities, on the fact that “this is a moral, an ethical, a spiritual issue,” and one that is the most serious ever faced by humankind.
		The subpoenas are the latest examples of an increasingly common strategy by federal prosecutors to force reporters to reveal their confidential sources or be cited for contempt of court.

	The Myth, Romance and Historicity of Alexander and His Influence on India
		Many times, they accept the agreeable evidences to suit their hypotheses and theories and reject, ignore or even destroy the non-agreeable, unfavorable and troublesome evidences, which are inconvenient to them questioning their hypotheses or theories or in short, their credibility.
		Therefore, it is imperative that not only the historicity of invasion but also that of Alexander and connected factors have to be scrutinized by Indians carefully to find out the truth.
		Many times, attempts have been and are made to link the date of one personality with that of the other and one event with other, and if one does not suit the other, either way it is adjusted to come close together according to their predetermined hypotheses and theories.

	Berezovsky offers up ‘constructive criticism’
		The real reason was that authorities were fed up with his critical articles and wanted to silence an inconvenient journalist.
		In 1996, Ukrainian journalist Ruslan Gorevoi was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison because he wrote about the truth.
		But Chechnya was only one of the issues discussed at the announcement of the forming of Berezovsky's "constructive opposition," which also includes eight leading artists and intellectuals.

	Forfeit by Bailey
		In truth, Beleth had always thought of Legolas as a spoiled, inconvenient brat, when he thought of him at all.
		Beleth steeled himself to do what he must to ensure that he would rule Mirkwood after Thranduil had gone, but it was difficult to make his flesh rise.
		Only Beleth was armed with more than a jeweled dress dagger and his leggings were around his ankles along with his sword belt.

	Policy and Path Dependence: From QWERTY to Windows 95
		Our debunking of the myth was first published in 1990, and the inconvenient truth has been whispered around since, but the fable of the keys has proven to have great staying power.
		In path dependence, getting "locked-in" means having to accept inferior standards or products, even though superior alternatives exist, even though it is known that superior alternatives exist, and even though the costs of switching are not high.
		What is especially important is that for Arthur, Krugman, and other path dependence theorists, path dependence is no oddity: it is a likely phenomenon that can affect choices of technologies, networks, standards, industrial location, or almost any arrangement that might exhibit what economists call increasing returns to scale.

		In Saramago's view, that truth is what we cannot bear to see.
		While this epidemic has a clear symbolic burden, it's also a real and very inconvenient affliction.
		Blindness merely amplifies everyone's fundamental helplessness and interdependence and makes plain the lies they tell themselves to get through the day.

	The forbidden truth about Jayson Blair - Salon
		Right now." Says Dwyer: "Anybody who says nothing was done is reading right over the inconvenient fact that Jayson Blair was shut down [in the spring of 2002] and brought within an inch of being fired and put on a probation that he worked himself out of.
		Today, in the wake of the newspaper's sprawling scandal involving disgraced reporter Jayson Blair, a rising black star in the newsroom who perpetrated journalistic fraud on a massive scale while working under editors who were at best inattentive, the Times finds itself struggling with the issue of race in its own newsroom.
		One of the many ironies in the Blair story is that it's damaging the reputation of a newspaper that has a history of championing civil rights.
