Line 1:
Line 1: + − '''Out of sight out of mind''' is a fallacy of thought. It occurs when in the case that direct evidence is not always in sight, a person does not believe that a certain action is happening. For example, many [[liberal]]s tout [[solar energy]] as extremely [[clean]], but do not realize that the manufacture of the panels creates many [[toxic chemical]]s that are placed in the [[environment]]. Since they do not see this, they assume that solar panels are perfect.+ − − Another [[liberal]] example is [[terrorism]]: during 9/11, many liberals supported [[George W. Bush]] because terrorists had recently attacked. However, as the terrorist attacks on [[America]] stopped, they began to resent Bush and his actions to defend their safety and freedom.

'''Out of sight out of mind''' is a fallacy of thought, meaning that something which is not plainyl evident is either ignored or forgotten.
The saying finds its origins from the 13th-century terms "in mind" (remembered) and "out of mind" (forgotten), essentially meaning that something that is not in view is not remembered.
