QuickSand

The current political climate has the consistency of a mixture, of fact and fiction, that is like quicksand.

The truth is, most "quicksand" is either deep mud, a quaking bog, or just spongy ground. However, one can get stuck in any of these just as easily!

Quicksand has always been more myth than science to writers of fiction. Beyond that, it was even described as "round grains of sand" by no less than the Encyclopedia Britianica many years after the Army Corps of Engineers had conclusively identifed its nature as a phenomena rather than a substance in and of itself.

But like all myths, its "working" definition lies in the nature of its context. And today, that context in the realm of truth and justice, remains mythical at best.
