Other People's children

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

Some days I turn on my Facebook. I just shake my head and say other people's children. Everyone has an agenda but truth isn't a priority. Now I do know that I that some times I have reposted something to find out it wasn't correct. I usually try to go back either delete it or correct it. What frustrates me to no end are post where truth is sorely missing spewed for hates sake. Republicans bashing the president. People bashing gays. Yesterday, a person bashing the President for a book her was reading because of the title said post America supposedly written by a Muslim. It took me less than five minute to find the books synopsis and read it, only to find out that its a book about America's rise as a Super power in foreign affairs. It was written by a Harvard Graduate with a phd in Foreign affairs. Today another about how the last six mass gunmen are left wing democrats and liberals. I have another serious bit of truth that was neglected, 80% of all serial killers are in fact Republicans. One the other day that made me completely unfriend a person was a larger banner about how being gay is unnnatural and against God. I HAVE A GAY CHILD AND HE IS A COMPASSIONATE, WELL EDUCATED, CHRISTIAN YOUNG MAN. Seriously...At some point this has to stop and we have to be accountable for what we say and how we treat people. Your words written and spoken matter. Then cannot be unsaid or undone. Make a difference. Learn the value of humility and pete's sake show a little common sense and tolerance.
