I'm mad as hell. While reading the news today, there were many things to get angry about, but this is the outrage that I chose to highlight:
Abortion. The Radical Religious Right. The Pro-lifers. The Lies.
One thing that I find very hard to take: dishonesty. I've been lied to many times in my life, so has everyone, I suppose. Lies serve no decent purpose. I am not talking about the "You look good in yellow." lie. Those kind of lies don't effect lives in a negative fashion - other than maybe sending loved ones out into the world looking...well...not their best. I'm talking about lies that potentialy hurt people.
"I did not cheat on you." "You are my soul mate.""No mom, I didn't drink at the game."
And of course I can't forget the lies like:
"Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons."
But, this isn't about the many lies told to me by my ex-boyfriends, or my teenager. This isn't even about WMD's or lack there of. This is about the lies that are told to young teens in crisis across this country everyday.
