Truth or Consequences

To some, truth is an asset, to others, a liability. Our current administration's reaction to attempts by critics and the undecided to understand the full implications of a record breaking, history making, back breaking, and inflation creating grand stimulus package, appear to be quite over-dramatic. Perhaps for them the truth is a liability. The Obama media as well, has bent over backwards in the attempt to persuade the masses that such scrutiny by Rush Limbaugh and others is certainly un-deserved and time wasting and should not be tolerated. How dare we stop and study and question these grand leftist steps of progress towards the great healing our nation desperately needs?

What may be new to you may not be new to me. After all new is in the eye of the beholder. There is something about the concept of "new" that excites and energizes. Kids love to get new toys, new clothes, even new school supplies. Grownups also seek out new clothes, new cars, new tools, new homes, careers etc... So what is it about "new" that gets kids and grownups excited? How long does new last? Do some things stay new longer than others? It seems we get bored with new things very quickly. Are they really new things or just freshly produced cleaned up same old things with a shine? Is there anything really new under the sun? The all wise teacher Solo
