IN MY DAY A LIAR WAS A LIAR
The truth is I am afraid is that is no longer the case.
It seems as if many of us not only tolerate those who now regularly lie to us ,but also have come to accept them in some measure as well…
Religion,politics….the two biggies my friends….subjects that are said never to be discussed with friends or family….
And so I will leave it to a pro in this instance……:)
It is in this light that I now give you as reminder a man who once believed in the very things that we seem today to have forgotten my friends,Mr.Samuel Langhorne Clemens.
Commonly known as Mark Twain….:)
The Following video’s are for your consideration.
Funny stuff yup…funny indeed…but hey guess what, true too….
And I suspect just what a whole lot people today need more of………
Personally I think both Mr.Obama,and Mr.Romney and most of the politicians on both sides of the proverbial aisle could benefit by Mr. Clemens wisdom more than just a little bit friends….
Thank you

Alas, in Samuel Clemens day, information traveled slowly and people had the chance to chew on it, ruminate and digest it. Consequently, if someone lied about something, people would have months to sit around the general store or barber shop to discuss it. Nowadays, today’s lies (I’m assuming you’re talking about the multiple untruths in Paul Ryan’s speech last night) will get overshadowed in the communal conversation about whatever next week’s talking points will be. Not that lying has no consequences, they’re just not as devastating as they once were.
