I don't deny that a lawyer could try to make hay out of those out of context. But every one of those quotes are statements of provable fact. That's the problem when you try to bring nuance to an emotionally charged issue. You wind up saying things that cause people to have a knee-jerk response, and their brains turn off.

Pondering http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html may be worthwhile.

I would just like to thank you very much for sharing that link. It was an amazing read. I found so many of the points made in that article things that I already practice, but I had never dreamed they could all be tied together in one cohesive whole like that.

That's one amazing piece of writing.
