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.

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!

Truth effectively and elegantly expressed. Let us observe to observe and think for ourselves.

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

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.
