Truth matters

 I try very hard to just post my happy little stories without ticking anyone off. But I’m worried about our country. Truth matters, and repeating falsehoods until people are numb and exhausted does not make them true. We’re told that our country is threatened by people because of their sexual orientation, or their religious beliefs, or their country of origin, or their support for human rights, or their belief in climate change and established science. Hogwash. Its not difficult to recognize those who actually threaten democracy. Democracy is threatened by those who deny election results and attack public institutions. Democracy is threatened by angry voices threatening civil war.  Democracy is threatened by violent rhetoric instilling hatred, promoting sedition, subverting truth, and sending hooded hate groups marching through our streets.
