Y'All Crazy!
The longer I'm around and see the world "in action," the more convinced I am that it's true enough!
Sorry world, I wish it wasn't so. ;-)

Y'All Crazy
Truth does not mind being questioned.
A lie does not like being challenged.
This seems like truth to me!
People who push an agenda and their propaganda never like to discuss it or answer questions about it. It's usually prejudice in some way and they just want to ram it down people's throats.
Questioning and shedding light on things that don't seem right is part of our moral and civic duty.
Of course, the haters and liars would rather that we just accept the falsehoods they are peddling like stupid sheep who blindly follow them down the road to perdition. ;-)

Don't Follow Haters and Liars
Trust me I'm a lawyer.
My dad used to joke:
Not a lawyer, a liar!
I think he was referring to the ones who knowingly and dishonestly defend guilty violent criminals.
But like with all people, some people are good and some are not so good. ;-)

Lawyer or Liar
The Mind's Eye
There are at least three sides to every story:
Yours
Mine
And the truth
Three Sides (At Least) To Every Story
"Truth Always Hurts!"
The Truth Hurts
When we see wrong and evil in this world, we have a duty to stand up and speak out with truth and integrity, to be a good influence and guide things for the better, and even to repair the world ("Tikkun Olam")...Words are perhaps a good start, but also, "words are cheap." The way to really judge someone is less by their words, and far more so by their actual deeds. Moreover, sometimes words aren't enough and we need to not just say something, but do something! As Edmund Burke stated, "The only thing necessary for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." It's great to speak out when we see wrong, but more than that we have to be willing, when necessary, to act out--to do something.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Innerspace
Finding Our Innerspace
A wife is listening to the radio and she hears that a car is dangerously going in the wrong direction on the highway.
Immediately, she calls her husband to tell him about the car going in the wrong direction, and to be careful.
He husband replies: One car going in the wrong direction...there are hundreds of cars going in the wrong direction!
Wrong Direction--Who Stands For The Truth?
"It's just a white lie!"
"What you don't know can't harm you!"
"Beating around the bush!"
A half truth is a lie!
A Half Truth
Shame As An Effective Motivator
Justice Is Absent
Measurement And Standards Are Our Friends
"White Lie,
Black Truth"
White Lie, Black Truth
What Is Wisdom?
"The nail that sticks up gets hammered down."And who wants to be the one to get hammered flat and for of all things, doing the right thing?
"Uh, you better keep it in the family!"So things get kept in the family, and the big burly husband is a drunkard bum and the wife is abused and the kids are abused, and the sh*t goes on.
"Tell me what's really going on here."When there is smoke, there is fire, and where there is skunk stink, there is skunk.
