The Word 'Crux'

the word crux
derived from cross
the point of intersection

in today's world
that venerable crux
defies all detection

It's so true Gershon hard to tell the true from the false, especially based on a faulty foundation and faulty premise!

If A and B are both false, then C must be true -- the Logic of today... Heh, heh. Thanks, John

I like the way you have used the word crux, not to be confused with crutch.

Ha, ha! Very good point. Let's not go to the next possible vowel., OK?! ~ And I don't mean 'Cratchit!'

Well done play with words. The crux of the matter cannot be gleamed, as everyone hangs from a beam. What wisdom can be surmised? What can be achieved.
