Years of Deceit

By Tammy Derouin

From the time we are small children we are told and instructed on the importance of telling the truth. Early childhood lessons instill the importance of honesty. If you are wronged by a fellow playmate or classmate, you feel that everything will be cleared up once the truth is known. When lies are told to cover up wrongdoings and prevent punishment, the situation only gets worse. It's bad enough when you are wronged but what if, during the inevitable questioning, the one who wronged you, flat out lies? The perpetrator of this wrongdoing, in an attempt to save his own skin, decides to rewrite the story, blames you, destroyed evidence and may have even added a few colorful, albeit fictitious details and then to make it even more interesting, tries to get others to turn against you.

That jaw that just hit the floor, while in the principal's office, will eventually toughen up. Sadly, this will not be the last time that you will witness the truth being twisted, turned and then repackaged to benefit someone else. Having been wronged, how do you react? Do you retaliate and try to get even or do you learn from this experience and return to fight another day?

These early life lessons, and how we handle them, set the course our life will take and will determine our individual characteristics. Will others want to gravitate towards you or will they seek to distance themselves from you? Honesty and living by the Golden Rule are good ideals to follow but it doesn't mean that life will be easy. Unfortunately, we soon learn that many people in this world find it easier and more rewarding to lie and deceive others for their own personal or agenda-driven gain.......

Must read of the day!--How they "think"-----Advice on how to talk to the white working class.

Advice on how to talk to the white working class.:
"Advice on how to talk to the white working class without insulting them."
If there is one thing everyone should be able to agree on about the past seven months, it is that the white working class can no longer be described as “forgotten.”
Beaten-down?
Racist? 
Mistreated?
Angry?
Victimized?
Sure. 
We have read and heard the white working class described in all of those ways.
But the election of Donald Trump has ensured that we are discussing this group ad nauseam.
In a new book, White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America, Joan C. Williams argues that much of the analysis of this class has been misguided and condescending...
I spoke recently by phone with Williams, who is also a distinguished professor of law at University of California Hastings College of the Law. 
...we discussed Trump’s view of his own voters, the role of racism in class resentments, and whether there is any way to avoid being “condescending” to Trump’s supporters...

• He just completely bald-facedly lies to them as if they’re morons.
• But as for people like us, we should have some commitment to honesty. What attitude should we be taking toward people who voted for a racist buffoon that is scamming them?

Must read of the day!

James Comey's leak admission may put him in jeopardy, say legal experts - Washington Times

James Comey's leak admission may put him in jeopardy, say legal experts - Washington Times:

 "Critics say Mr. Comey’s use of a friend to convey the memo’s revelations to The New York Times last month is evidence that the leak was a multistep plot to take the down the president and that Mr. Comey executed a sort of political vendetta. The president has little doubt that it was Mr. Comey’s leaking — not what he leaked — that is the real crime in their conflict."

As democrats fight the progress-----Our Air Traffic Control System Is a Primitive Bureaucracy - Reason.com

Our Air Traffic Control System Is a Primitive Bureaucracy - Reason.com
"Wonder why your flight is late?
Why planes keep circling?
Why even after you've landed, you sometimes can't deplane?
Bad weather plays a role, but flying is also nastier because American airports use 50-year-old technology.
This shouldn't surprise us.
Government bureaucracies are always slow.
That's as true on the tarmac as everywhere else.
It's not Federal Aviation Administration workers' fault.
They're just following the government rulebook that says you must not change something without getting permission first.
You must not buy anything without going through cumbersome acquisitions regulations.
The FAA's new NextGen system was designed to make the system more efficient by using satellites instead of ground-based radar.
It would let planes fly closer to each other, speeding up everything.
This technology has existed for two decades, but because of the bureaucracy, it's still being rolled out.
"By the time the government gets the equipment, many times it's no longer state-of-the-art," complains Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.
Outside government, progress happens.
Uber replaces taxis because Uber is better and safer.
Waze is better than paper maps.
My laptop, on which I write this, is better than my typewriter.
Outside government, people constantly invent better computers, phones, foods, music...
Within government, people follow the old rules.
So President Trump did the right thing when he said he wants to privatize air-traffic control.
"Our air traffic control system is stuck, painfully, in the past," said the president.
"Billions of tax dollars spent and the many years of delays, we're still stuck with an ancient, broken, antiquated, horrible system that doesn't work."..."
