My Truisms

1)In order to clean up a mess, you must first make a bigger one

2)There are two kinds of people in the world: A)Those that think they are the
same as everyone else, and B)Those that think they are different from everyone
else(I would say I'm the first type.)

3)Almost every argument can be disassembled into one of two arguments:
A)"I know you." or B)"You don't know me."

4)The last little bit is usually wasted (but it's not usually worth saving so maybe 'wasted' is the wrong word)

5)Ultimatums are Ultimately Bad

6)Most stories fall into 2 categories:  They're either about a writer/journalist or they're about a cop/guard.  There are few that avoid these stereotypes.
