How did we get to this point that we are in?  You see there is truth and there are lies. There is truth in some lies, and there are lies in some truths. Some people believe the lie to be the truth and others the truth to be the lie. We have a Country formed on the pinnacles of two ideas, Democracy and Religion. For the first 150 years of our country our Democracy was a lie.  It stated that all men were created equal and all men could vote, but that was a lie. Only white privileged men could vote, and then only white men. When others were allowed to vote, we stated that all men and women were equal, but that was a lie. Because we have systemically continued to privilege white men, like myself, over everyone else. The call for Black lives Matter is simply an attempt to make that truth a reality, because the reality is that in today’s world they don’t.  Saying they do is a lie, but a lie that should be a truth.  Our other pinnacle is that of Religion.  Despite all the scientific proof many people still believe that God created the entire universe in seven days, and that woman was made from man’s rib.  They believe that evolution is a lie.  They believe that if God could create the universe in 7 days that he could fabricate the lie of evolution. But why would God create some Watergate type reality?  If he/she/zhe did then where are the tapes?  So why do people believe what the orange haired so called President says?  Its because we have never dealt with the underlying lies that have shaped our country.  We are like an equation where 2+2 = 6.  Everyone knows that that is not the truth. When the whole foundation is crooked, what is one more lie?  What we need is a truth and reconciliation committee.  A group that can go into every fabric of our country and clean out the lies that we have built our country on.  While President Obama was a great President when he had the chance to call out the lie of our country’s financial and banking system, he backed  away.  Instead he just propped it up. He was worried that pulling out the lie would collapse the whole system. Maybe it would have. Maybe we must confront the adversity caused by our history of lies, before we can again be one republic under God.
