Perhaps some A2K member has read the book(s) written by former President John F Kennedy.
If so could they help me find in which book he wrote " The enemy of truth is not lies but myth" ?
It's not from a book, but from his commencement address at Yale University,
June 11, 1962:
"For the great enemy of truth is very often not the lie-deliberate, contrived, and dishonest-but the myth-persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinions without the discomfort of thought."
