I and all the Community will really miss you, Bethany.
 

True?

“I should dearly love that the world should be ever so little better for my presence. Even on this small stage we have our two sides, and something might be done by throwing all one's weight on the scale of breadth, tolerance, charity, temperance, peace, and kindliness to man and beast.  We can't all strike very big blows, and even the little ones count for something.”

 Arthur Conan Doyle, physician and writer (22 May 1859-1930)

Sibling team work, Georgie and Buddy.

Help!, Georgie.

True?

The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.
