Alternative Facts

When faced with dishonesty. Stop. Forget being nice. Forgot being courteous. It should not come down to conversational and cultural niceties. When faced with bullshit alternative facts do not wait. Do not formulate a respectful and weak reply. Do not be brash or brazen either. Stop and call it what it is. Do not back down on your assertions. Teach and be taught. Grow wiser, not dumber. Do not be afraid to be confrontational. Do not let confrontation stop you from doing the right thing. Do not misname untruths and falsehoods. Those terms weaken the crime of dishonesty. We are people who seek, and deserve to know. If you see it call it what it is.
