Woe betides anyone getting in the way of people that keep on muddying the waters, throwing up smoke screens and clouding issues, so as to conceal their dubious motivations. ("Could the milkman be the devil?")

About This Quote

One of the most important things you can do in life is to recognize when someone is trying to muddle the waters, throw up smoke screens and cloud issues for nefarious reasons. In other words, when someone is attempting to confuse you so that they can get away with bad behavior. And if they succeed, then you're going down with them.
