Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
The last one is spot-on. The man who inspired the movie "Catch Me if you Can" spoke at CSU some years back and told people that if you look like you're supposed to be there, people tend to assume it's true. He saw businesses in an airport depositing their cash down a chute at the airport bank, so he got a guard uniform, and the next night had a sign "Chute broken, leave deposits with guard." People believed him and left their cash with him. He was incredulous, "How does a chute get broken?"
I saw a guy in a service department uniform walk into a Sears and pick up an outboard motor and walk right out of the store, put it in the back of a truck and drive away. I took down the license plate number and a description of the truck and gave it to the sporting goods department manager. He did not believe me until he checked his inventory and yep, there was a motor missing.
Thieves suck.

Just remember how generally stupid, non-observant, and unaware most of the people are. If you ever fell on hard times and were desperate to survive tricking people is super easy.
