·       in the u.s.a., it is no longer okay to be only slightly deceptive. 
·       the lies have gotten to the point where people (advertisers, politicians, spouses, newsmakers, etc.) profess the complete 180 from the truth.

killer whales, in captivity,

in no way have anxiety or anger.*

 
aliens (like me) find it hard to understand how u.s.a.-ians somehow stand by what they say, and how they can believe the 180-degree bullsh-t that they are told.

when you picture 

"clear" 

"water" 

"lake" 

what do you envision?
