MY NY TIMES COMMENT

i am really surprised that the nyt actually put this in their comment section. not being or even attempting to be a (lol) mensa member and having written this past my usual bedtime i didn't expect this to meet their criteria for comments.


CONCERNING POLITICIAN'S ALLEGATIONS-----

just adding my 2 cents.

in my day we called these scenarios grand mother's tales and the people that told them were gossips.

although (i think) occam's. razor the simplest explanation for some event may be most probable (as you know) is among an infinite number of possible stories. no one can possibly know all the facts leading up to and causing an event.

in my humdrum world i've heard stories that a relative supported his parents. partially true but mostly false. his parents mostly supported him. i don't know all the details.

a friends house was purchased by his grandmother/father's inheritance/plain frugal living/winning the lottery/unscrupulous mortgage co./murdering the previous owner/drug money.

he broke up with his girlfriend because he was a womanizer/she found a better guy/he didn't trust her/she got a great job in L. A./he has a terminal disease/she needs dental work/he joined special forces/she was married to another as was he/it was mutual.

that's my point. we cannot know the truth and we are all subjected to made up stuff.
