TELLING THE TRUTH

An amazing number of people believe that they can tell the most transparent lies in order to get you to buy into their agenda.

MY FAVORITE RECENT FAILURES TO TELL THE TRUTH:

"I am going hiking." ("Actually, I am going to Argentina to have an affair.")

This election was fair. (Actually, in many places the number of votes exceeded the number of registered voters.)

We cannot kill deer, bunny rabbits, and other fuzzy things. (Actually, since we have very few large predators, we have to limit the population of the animals that predators would formerly kill or we will lose the entire ecology of a region.)

Africa is a backward continent. (Actually, Africa has saved more of its large land animals than any other continent. Perhaps Africa has a more earth friendly approach to living.)

Second hand smoke will damage your health. (Actually, some people are allergic to second hand smoke. Many people are allergic to perfume, but no one makes perfume illegal.)

WE HAVE GOT TO START TELLING THE ACTUAL TRUTH or we will NEVER be able to solve our problems.
