Depraved Indifference
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” —George Orwell.
“I don’t know, I don’t want to know, and I don’t care.” —The average American.
Nobody tells the Truth anymore. Not medicine. Not government. Not education. Not even religion.
To steal from old Mr. Orwell, telling the Truth HAS become a revolutionary act.
But no one expects the Truth. It is old-fashioned…part of the “old normal.” I am old enough to remember when a man’s word was his bond. Liars were scorned…ridiculed…punished…back in the day when everyone knew what the meaning of “is” was.
