In most cases, their behavior contradicted the very principles they espoused in public.Worse, I almost never learned this from the leaders themsel

Friday Forward – Actual Coincidence (#553) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I've written before, I'm no fan of conspiracy theories. I'm willing to be fooled every now and then rather than go through life suspicious of everyone and everything.Unfortunately, conspiratorial thinking has arguably never been more prevalent.The truth is that many conspiracy theories start as attempts to explain occurrences that are simply unlikely coincidences. I had one of these situations last week in my basement.We've been considering eliminating our home landline. While I was fiddling
