6 " It's stunningly ironic that the explosion of available information on the internet has led to the irrelevance of actual facts. More communication has led to more isolation, Political discourse has become nothing but shouts and lies and threats. Political loyalties are about who you hate, not who you love. And all this ignorant bile is justified by making up nonsensical 'facts'. The crazier the belief, the more strongly it's held. "

― John Verdon , Peter Pan Must Die (Dave Gurney, #4)
