New a couple of thoughts
some people believe what they learned at momma's knees, without coherent thought. Well if momma was a bright girl they might be right more often than not. Getting an approximation of the truth by looking at evidence let me tell you a story,
It wasnt until I was about 15 I actually read the words to the song silent night until that time it was an evedent truth as reported by my ears that "holy infantso" was a latin phrase. Was it the truth? Yes, according to all the available evidence at that time.
thanx,
bill

New Well, that's what you get for not doing a reality check.
The printed lyrics were around and available long before you turned fifteen. Trust me on that. You weren't looking hard enough.

This is why I get information from multiple sources, while others here scarcely bother with even one. And when those who scarcely bother with even one presume to lecture me on truth, naturally I put them in their place. Is there a problem with that?
