What Numbers do I believe in?????
I just finished reading the morning newspaper, and now how have a lump in my stomach. What numbers do I believe? I honestly believe we have been so many of our institutions, our newspapers, our government, our political poles, our educators have taken to re-writing the truth to tell slant it for their benefit.
The political poles have been so misleading over the past few elections, its like why clutter your mind reading them. The potical poles are slanted to get a desired end result, and the end vote result looks nothing like the forcast presented. In another section of the newspaper, there was an article by an LA times reporter that talked about need to standardize reporting methodology of graduation rates for high school students. (How difficult can this be???). The newspapers take such a bias in how they report with misleading headlines on articles that thinly disguise the real “editorialize” viewpoint of the author. Read a quote from a government official about the health or sickness of our national economy and you get nothing but political double talk.
The result is confusion, anxiety, and lack of clarity; which is why, in my opinion that we are in for a side wards drifting in the local and national economy; probably for several years. Throw in the Presidential election this year and ouch. Who’s going to make decisions about moving forward in all this confusion?
We have become so politically correct that honesty has lost it dominant role for clear thinkers. Let’s return to the basics of demanding facts, making decision on facts and get the craziness of a bias set of self serving individuals, government officials, and writers who are creating FUDD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, and Disinformation). Bring honesty back to all we do, say, and think!
