I'll calm down a bit before posting.<br /><br />I wouldn't literally put my hands, cane, shovel or anything else on somebody except in self-defense. <br /><br />For a few years I lived in an area where someone starting a sentence with some form of, "I'm not prejudiced, but..." was a guarantee something embarrassingly ignorant is coming next, and bigotry frequently justified with "they all" fit whatever moronic stereotype.<br /><br />I'd just read the latest fake hate fool insulted via banana, so I was a bit riled up when the analogy came to mind. :^D<br /><br />My actual point: With SA, the number three is proven to frequently be used in a false statement, and leading off with an explanation of Facebooking an alleged incident is a highly accurate example of the SA principal that order speaks to priority and importance.<br /><br />My point, as unnecessarily violently (again, thank you!) as I expressed it, is asking if Peter and the veteran analysts in here have to suppress their own biases, having seen these indicate deception most of the time.<br /><br />Also, when you interview, and analyze the statements of habitual liars who are actual victims, do you do anything different?<br />Do you listen and expect the same responses,actions, language, as any other victim?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-91494691264243108412016-04-12T16:58:33.403-04:002016-04-12T16:58:33.403-04:00I would love to be able to do SA properly rather t...I would love to be able to do SA properly rather than like a bull in a china shop. I can't leave it alone, despite my love of tea cups and saucers. :-/ After next summer, when time and finances will, I hope, be improved (expensive year ahead) I would like to do the home study course, if Peter will let me.

I also enjoyed your advice on bias. For some of us that is a major hurdle. For those of us brought up by southern mothers, the best example I can think of are Misses Emily and Mamie Baldwin on The Waltons. They weren't bootleggers; they made "the recipe". This is as natural as breathing.<br /><br />One reason I would like to be good at statement analysis is the state of our country. The book I am reading now is also about 9/11. "The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror" starts with the quotation by Carl Sagan. "“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle."<br /><br />The rest of the quote is this: "We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”<br /><br />I'm tired of being bamboozled.
