So Wrong

I was driving and listening to an audio version of  'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" by Steig Larsson on the way home from work and an inspirational critical thought about the series came upon me like a light bulb. 

I had read the book once before, and seen the Swedish version of the video series via Netflicks , so I would say I knew the series fairly well. So when the inspiration dawned on me, I thought it would make a great blog. I thought I had suddenly gained a unique and crucial insight into the mind of the deceased author, something blogdom would find interesting enough to read.

I knew, to make the case for the inspirational idea, I'd have to do a little research to back up my suppositions with some supporting facts.

But as I dug into various details about the author, the series, and other related facts...it quickly became apparent that I was....

WRONG!!!!

Yeah, after researching various items, it became very very clear.....

So, I still had the idea, and I could still find enough facts here and there to provide support for my thoughts, but I knew for sure...

Now, my blog audience is very small, so the chance of someone in the audience catching my mistakes and pointing them out to me was astronomical.

But, then again, like I said before, deep down...I knew that I was...

I had to eat my humble pie, discard my 'brilliant' idea as if it were some moldy cheese I'd find at the back of the crisper drawer in my fridge.  My idea was shot down like a Hugh Hefner at a GLP parade.

Oh yes, blogee, I have been wrong before, sure. And I will be again, and again...more times then I even want contemplate. I can move on, no problem.

My comment on this is, I think about how easy it is to use a few strategic facts to justify just about anything. Without restraint, without minimal ethics, without self policing, facts can be used with pinpoint precision to back up even the most outrageous claims and beliefs.
