A Postiriori;

Charlie next proceeded to a convenience store, to stimulate the economy and pay for convenience. He had well understood the urgings of the Bush Administrations that if the people _stop_ spending money, the velocity of money in the system will slow down - he learned that in Economics; "The only way to increase velocity of transfer of funds in the system is AFT's." However, he _needed_ the Scientific Journal he was searching for, and the Library had beefed up security. He had gone back to "Steal this book!" for reference, but apparently some other free thinker was using it. The Journal was for purposes of deception.

He was genuinely worried about being called "disingenuous." The word had the connotation of insincere,and he sincerely wanted to do well. He contemplated the various synonyms of insincere; prevaricate was hide the truth by lying about it; obfuscate was hide the truth by saying something else; disinformation was hiding the truth by informing someone else... it was easier just to say "disingenuous is smart people pretending to be dumb." He would disabuse as many people as possible by undeceiving them.

He had an old copy of Playboy for when he wanted to study during Frat parties, and a February Sports Illustrated for all purpose occasions. He needed the Journal so he could study in class. He pondered for a moment what scientific periodical would pass muster in the most classes. A manual of style, for use in writing white papers was his best bet. He swore mentally. The convenience store was not so convenient after all - he'd have to go to a brick and mortar division of the publisher.

His initial observations of the Current section of his Gideon's convinced him that it was about a Hispanic character named "Jesus." Must have been interesting back then, what with the Romans and the Greeks all fighting about the "Venus" controversy. As nearly as Jones could verify, Jesus had been a Greek, telling the Jews what for. Hell of a political commentary! It was just like Xenophon said; To be taken seriously, Politicians HAVE to acknowledge God.
