By saying that activism "is lies" is saying that their cause is simply pretense. I realize it was probably a thoughtless typo, but really that's what it would mean if you honestly worded it like that. I believe you mean: "At the activism lies in the right place." That's proper syntax for you.
NOW, I get where the confusion is...I added the word "is" when it should not have been there in the first place.
Oh, and for the record...Don't "put words in my mouth," as I KNOW what I was intending to say. Those who know me on the threads, know that if I feel the need to say something, I do. FYI, "At the activism lies in the right place," doesn't make any f'ing sense.
