"we have grown up ton Santa Claus and Superman. We want to believe the myths. We have been taught that in America there is liberty and justice for all. We want to believe the prosecutor in the courtroom and the anchorman on the evening news. We want to believe we are loved. We want to trust our neighbors and our friends. We want o feel safe. We want to eat the food and drink the drinks that taste good. We want to get rich quickly. We want more than we want to pay attention to our credibility detectors. I believe most people tell me the truth--the truth for them. I believe most people are honest--as honest as it is comfortable for them to be. I believe that most people will do me no harm--at least not intentionally, at least not viciously. I do not argue here that we should distrust all who come before us. I argue only that we should look and we should listen. The ability to listen and to see must be twice as important as the ability to speak, else why would God have given us two eyes and two ears and only one mouth?"
