Truth, Justice & The American Way...
Our truth is truer than your truth....
“We must remember that in time of war what is said on the enemy’s side of the front is always propaganda, and what is said on our side of the front is truth and righteousness, the cause of humanity and a crusade for peace.”
- Walter Lippmann (1889-1974), journalist, political commentator and author of the term “Cold War.”
- via Ted Pease, journalism professor, Utah State University
So... in the micro and the macro, the personal and the political, we're fighting over whose truth is THE TRUTH... and for most of us, we're convinced that our truth is the one and only right/real/valid truth and let the others' be damned...
So ... where to from there?
