Don't understand why smart people in the public eye fabricate stories when they know reporters are just looking for something to pounce on. Everybody knows cadets don't pay to go to West Point. Yet a man this smart talks about getting a scholarship handed to him??? What's up with that??? crazy

I was wondering the same thing myself, Jabber. I know cadets get a free ride, in part because they're making a commitment to serve their country after graduation.

But I remembered this from high school, when one of my classmates was selected to be a cadet.

So maybe Carson didn't realize/remember that? I have no clues!

Sometimes saying what's in your heart is difficult. Perhaps this is what's happening to this man.

Did you ever catch yourself saying something and then wondering why in heck you said that? Perhaps it's just human nature?

Most of us do, Jabber. Even NBC nightly news commentators, as I recall. Remember the incident with Brian Williams?

That episode of purportedly accidental fabrication but a fine man out of a job. Once he'd misspoken the first time, he had to keep it going forward...

Words can make you or break you. And sometimes we speak before we think.
