Sometimes It Feels Wrong To Be Right
Introduction Something came to mind yesterday due to everything that is going wrong at the moment (don't worry it is all manageable) just about how those that shout the loudest almost always get the credit and belief of people. They don't have to be right, just louder than anyone else.
