that if I were to have children, the three things that I would want to make sure to teach them about what they are learning are:

-- The story is always told from the perspective of the person telling it, even though most often the storyteller hides behind anonymity in an effort to disguise its bias. That includes photographs and videotapes, which influence, frame and edit what they present but which make no reference to themselves.

-- Everyone has a different opinion, and most people have a hard time distinguishing between their opinions and truth.

-- The veracity of the statement is not dependent on the credibility of the speaker. The biggest idiot in the world can say that the sun will rise tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that it won't.

Peace.
