It's truly amazing how much a headline can have such a long lasting impact.
Most people will read it, take it for gospel, and never think twice about it. It sets their tone literally forever. If it's a lie- so what, if it's a partial truth- so what, if it's copy and pasted BS- so what. . . it will hang in the air like a nasty far. . . well you get the point.
It is truly unfortunate. Especially for adults these days. I know many of you have children and I know how much you care for them. However, it has become all too common place for politicians and Do-Good groups to hide behind them. Along with the headlines. . . well, it's almost insurmountable.
I know a lie when I see one. If I don't, I research it. That implies work.
I don't know if my neighbor does the same, I doubt it. I have lost faith in this society. This isn't the America I grew up in. It's truly embarrassing.
