It has been said that “A Picture is worth a 1,000 words…” Maybe, but here is My View specific to this book.”Most Pictures fade with Time, But A Few Well Written or Spoken Words are Timeless.” The Declaration of Independence is the definitive example of that fact.
We have not quite reached a point in our lives where we can project a picture at an instant and quite frankly we cannot carry around pictures of every life changing event in our lives. But, Our minds are something quite incredible. What do the following words bring to mind or more so, “Pictures” in your mind…
- Pearl Harbor
- 911
- JFK
- Mark Twain
- FDR
- Neil Armstrong
- George Lucas
You see, these simple words bring how many pictures and ideas into your mind, and yet, would you ever carry pictures of all the moments that surround these simple words in your wallet? Doubtful.
This book is about the many words that surrounded us during the 2008 campaign for the White House. I stumbled onto IReports.com on CNN almost immediately following the announcement of Sara Palin as John McCain’s Running Mate as I wanted to see what everyday people were saying about this alarming decision. Being an Independent I wanted to hear both sides of the coin. It did not take long at all to make a decision as to what side to take. It was primarily driven by the negative, crude, racist and vile trash talking by the Radical Right Wing Republicans on that site.
I’ve always been a person who has spoken the truth and have always pursued the truth in the face of lies. I think it was the continual lies about Barack Obama that drove me to produce the number of posts that I did as I felt that people were out there seeking information who would not necessarily be a blogger.
