120. NEWSFLASH!: People tell lies.
People lie to make themselves seem more important than they actually are. People lie to make themselves admired. People lie to gain sympathy. Some people lie for money.

Anything that people can do, people can lie about doing. Anything that people can experience, people can lie about experiencing. That's why the reasonable course of action is to wait for actual evidence before assuming that a groundskeeper must know what he's talking about when he claims that doctors were offing their patients in New Orleans.

You see, when someone claims that:

... "They had pretty good angles on us. They were shooting at the helicopters. They were shooting at us. They were trying to pick off the doctors, the patients," he said.

It got hopeless.

"They stopped all choppers from landing. We were taking too much (gun)fire. We tried to get people and kids under the limited concrete that we had," he said.



... and yet no pilot bothers to mention such trifling details to the FAA, then I do start to wonder. One thing that I wonder about is whether this volunteer, Mr. Larson, might be something of a glory seeker.

Apparently, quite a few of us are not prepared to swallow just anything. Thank heaven for that!
