Fake News

One need only repeat a lie
to be part owner;
our words
are ours
regardless of the author--

Easier to throw daggers
than to love:

The first needing only
the skill to speak, to write…
and the latter,
an independent
heart.

Panagiota Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 5/2/2019 5:11:00 AM Hi Panagiota; truth is probably the most righteous thing anyone can strive for, in all things--yet, especially in politics, it seems to be the least important. Have a great day my friend!

Lindsay Laurie Date: 7/15/2018 10:41:00 PM G'day Joe … very true Joe. If a lie keeps persisting it soon becomes fake truth and there's a fair bit of that around - Lindsay Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 7/21/2018 8:19:00 AM I think the most difficult for all of us, is to recognize the programming in us, and then to be a truly Free Thinker. It requires courage...and a lot of work--what too many of us a reluctant to do. Great comment Lindsay. Thank you.
