"You can warn your friend that he is being conned, and he will get angry at you. And when the whole thing comes crashing down and he loses his money, and he can no longer deny that you were right, he will never forgive you. He will forgive the crook, but he will not forgive the people who warned him about the crook. The crook just took his money. But you made him feel dumb."
David Frum
I mean, it's a sad state of affairs that just sharing facts with people who are being lied to is sufficient to make them feel dumb. But... 'murica!
