Truth or Consequences

To Tell the Truth 
I remember the first time I experienced injustice.  It was when the grumpy old man at the end of my boyhood street accused me of throwing a rock at his house.  It seems that a few of the neighbor kids has committed the heinous act and conspired to blame it on me.  When he accused, me I felt indignation such as I had never experienced.  I had received injustice!

Superman was known for his mantra “truth, justice and the American way.”  Let’s be “super people” and known as lovers of truth and justice and let’s demonstrate that to those near us.  We also should be known as people who give others the benefit of the doubt because sometimes we don’t know or can’t get all the facts. 

Mark Twain was an expert on our human condition.  He once said, "Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
