Great posting, one quibble. We can shame people for lying, depending on the circumstances, but generally it isn't a crime unless it's fraud. Bill Clinton lied under oath and committed perjury. If Donald Trump did/does the same he should be punished by the law.
Also, I'm curious; for those who saw the dress in person, were there differing opinions as to the color? It may not matter, as one would then have to believe the eye witness and we don't seem to want to that either.

You're correct re Clinton/Trump, but my focus was on the politics of it.
Re the dress, in person there were no issues. Light and shadow caused the problem with the photo.
Thanks for reading.
