The Charlottesville of Truth

What gets us into trouble
is not what we don’t know.
It’s what we know for sure
that just ain’t so.
— Samuel Clemens

The above quote is attributed to Samuel Clemens, but there are many versions of it floating around from different authors, including Will Rogers and Josh Billings. And why not? It points to a dangerous fault line in human nature that appears to have been around for quite a while. In today’s world we are doing our best to crack it wide open.
