This wasn't obvious !! It required a poll ?
No. No. I am not trying to be too cynical. I had taken it for granted. Nothing to do with the background i come from. But to expect a politician to be nothing but just and honest.
Even the much quoted man who said 'for the people, by the people and off the people', freed the slaves not because he particularly thought that it was bad. The emancipation proclamation was tied to economic compulsions of the day. The history is frought with such misconceptions.
I guess you cannot 'fool all the people, all the time', but you sure can 'fool a vast majority of people, most of the time'. Time here being defined as a period between one election campaign to the next.
