Context is everything.

2AMt: In the rush to parse statements and assign blame this weekend, it seems like we’re missing the point. This isn’t–or shouldn’t be–an attack on Mike Daisey’s art or his ability. What’s on the stage–and on the page, in this case–is a dynamic, compelling, electric piece of theatre. Download it and read it, or go see it if you’re near a production of it. If you want to produce it, use that Creative Commons license as creatively as Cody Daigle did and open your audience up to a larger conversation.

context is everything. The public seems to not take seriously him passing off the blame to his wife because of their romantic entanglements. But what people fail to realize is since his wife was his director in his one man show, she might actually be the one to blame. Or at least have part of the blame. However once someone has been caught in a lie, they become the liar. It will be make it very difficult for this activist to have any real chance at making a difference.
