Tao Speaks: Truth is Where One Finds It

Truth is Where One Finds It

A lot of uproar seems to happen when someone pulls an appropriate quote from someone else that someone else doesn't like...Anita Dunn quoting Zedong, for example.

But i see it happen all the time on forums, too.

'O that can't possibly be true cus so-and-so said it!'

To me, this is like saying Alan Watts was a phony cause he drank too much.

Or like a kid saying they don't need to listen to their parents cause the parents aren't saints.

In short, it's a cop out, imo.

Curious on all your takes on it.
