Mark Twain once wrote these words: "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper you're misinformed!".
The "Oklahoma cowboy, rope trick artist and story teller", Will Rogers, once said, "Don't believe everything you read in the newspaper and only half of what you see!"
Today we are uninformed and misinformed daily, both in the written word and on the various cable news channels. One has to look very carefully at everything that is put in print or stated on the air. We hear words like, "It has been said---Undisclosed sources stated----He was thought to----This photo supposedly taken -----, etc. Well, you get the drift.
The problem with all this is that these so-called "stories" are picked off the computer and repeated, and repeated, and repeated again. They very often take on a life of their own and "Breed" new stories that get worse and worse until finally, everyone forgets where they all started! That then becomes the story of the day----"It must be true because it is on all the channels!"...Medicineman!
My blog will attempt to be a source of accurate information on any subject put forward. My approach to any question will come from the conservative, freedom loving,and Christian. My background includes history, medicine and military. Welcome!
