ever notice how some people speak
without saying a thing or the thing they really mean to say words aren't meant to be wasted but they are obfuscations mis-directions half-lies half-truths blatherings palaverings "full of sound and fury signifying nothing..." ** animals he said animals the guy who invented fake news has lost the facts his words not entirely true but only in some small kernel of meaning he spoke this way to gather favor and garner attention using language for his purpose attempts at reinvention people are after all part of the wild kingdom human animals truth has to be hunted down then tracked down to its footprint I wonder who recognizes truth we're so used to lies including those we tell ourselves about otherness and how we're separated when we're all crammed in here and have to share this blue marble all seven billion of us now there's a website where you have to pay for what constitutes truth today I heard the commercial for it only yesterday now getting back to the animals and the facts and the lack of basic understanding of this principle we are all animals every single one of us including the human animal all seven billion of us so to use that phrase as an insult a means of separation or to illustrate some widening gap in misunderstanding between race or religion is just ignorant prejudice and builds walls between people that don't need to be there and only encourages further misunderstanding hate and suspicion this is not the world I want to live in what kind of animal would say that about another animal an animals that shares his DNA his same loathing of pain and suffering his want for something better I could scoff over this wasting of words this biased ignorance but I find it abysmally enlightening. **--From William Shakespeare/one of my most favorite lines ever...
