We try to teach our children not to lie.., to be truthful -- as we lie, right to their face. In words. In writing. And images, too. At the "state level" governments are out of control, rewriting (trying to) history, on a daily basis. All to make it fit into their image and definition of "American Exceptionalism" -- whatever the the fuck that is…

Isn't it common sense.., to know, in order to evolve, grow as a people -- a whole.., we must recognize the "sins of the past." And face them with a steely grit.., honestly… Not stare at them through rose colored glasses, waving a flag.

As always @fairytalelife, your post sparks a flame of truth, on things that can only survive in the dark.
