51. So - you can read Kerry's mind and you know his thoughts?
Interesting projecting there.

You don't know what Kerry knows.
You don't know what Kerry thinks.

You do know what YOU think - and that's what your post is about. Projecting your own opinion onto Kerry or anyone else doesn't make it anything else - except still - your opinion.

Most sentences that start with "Even so-and-so knows/does/thinks...." are usually a person projecting their own opinions onto someone else they deem more authoritative or credible in order to manipulate others into agreeing with them.

Why not just say what you think and let go of being concerned with whether anyone agrees with you or not?
