Truth Or Dare Ain't A Kid's Game

Tucson Weather Today

I am still trying to straighten out my thoughts on the subject of truth and honesty. Clarifying one's thoughts about telling the truth is not easy.

If you are a candidate for public office (such as U.S. Senator) you damn well better not even hint at the truth about how you feel toward some touchy subject (such as abortion) if you expect to be elected. In the case that, if you believe that abortion is wrong (a sin) in any and all cases, even if pregnancy arises from rape, then you had better keep your true feelings to yourself. In other words, lie about it.

Then you might become an elected official, with power over the people.

But as I stated above, I am trying to sort out my own thoughts and feelings about the subject, not of abortion, but on telling the truth or lying.

Maybe I will soon come to a definite conclusion. If so, I will reveal it to my blog readers.
