The Lost American Value: The Truth
We live in a country where the most controversial thing you can do is tell the pure, unvarnished truth. Why? Because many think the truth is relative, that the truth changes, and that the truth can be argued and debated.
Take the recent weather issues all across our country and our globe, from Long Beach to Long Island. The truth? We did it to ourselves, we were warned, we ignored it. All of us. Oh, I went vegan for the planet. And I drive a 70 mpg motorscooter. But I still have a 2001 Lexus SUV that take 17 gallons of gas. I blame not being to afford electric, I blame the oil companies, I blame government for not making cities more walkable. But the truth? I know driving it kills the planet every single time I drive, but I still do it. It's convenient. It's necessary. And it's killing my home. I could take busses. Walk, Bike. But I don't. And my home is not solar. I blame the HOA. But I could move to where I could be solar. But doing the right thing takes sacrifice, and myself, and others, will only do so much.
The truth? Donald Trump should have been removed the first time around, and then jailed. He wasn't. MAGA is an infestation that started during the civil war, because we never dealt with the South properly, just like we didn't deal with the J-6ers properly. They should have been tried, and capital punishment for treason dished out. But nope.
Here's the truth. Most of this is because we won't face the truth. Because it's often uncomfortable, and ugly. And that goes for me like anybody else.
