Notes….
Words Can & Do Kill… Sticks and Stone as well….
To Whom It May Concern:
You could be next…that is why there USED to be to be harsher penalties for lying. Stop the rumors. Stop the lies. Stop the religious hatred. Stop repeating things you cannot establish as true.
If you have something legitimate to say, say it truthfully.
If you have evidence, present it.
If you do not have evidence, do not pretend that you do.
And if you have been told something about another person that you cannot verify, have enough integrity to let the rumor stop with you.
Truth does not need a mob.
Truth does not need religious hatred.
Truth does not need invented stories.
Truth can withstand examination.
And that is the standard I intend to follow.
