Ain’t that the truth?

No … no it ain’t … and Harris, queen of lies … embodies the charge of untruths and word salads. Back to truths further down.  Meanwhile …

Our one and only lady from the Deep South at our site across the way (there’s one Yorkshire lass as well) sent a clip of the Andy Griffith Show and as one commenter mentioned … shows in those days taught homespun values of personal morality and family, no matter whether the actors and actresses measured up to the ideals in real life. 

That show comes off not badly under today’s microscope. They were also still the values we had imparted to us and which stuck with us, whatever we ended up doing. So it was a huge pity, when I clicked on another vlog about who “hated” whom in that show … yep, clickbait does get us in, esp. when our job today is ferreting for the lowdown on subjects … to find that the front image (they call it a thumbnail) bore little relation to the content inside … misleading advertising.

Causing these comments below (there were plenty more):





To me, there’s a fundamental difference between being a naughty lad or lass, knowing he/she is doing wrong … that’s immorality … and someone totally unaware of right and wrong in the first place … poor parenting, poor, Woke left schooling … that’s amorality.  I, we, were the former, we knew right from wrong … we were just a bit naughty.

Not so the way these youtubes are being made, minus scrutiny … interesting that YT comes down like a ton of bricks on people using music and film excerpts, even as fair use … and if it’s DJT? Well often it’s just blocked … yet they’ll allow any defamation at all, plus outright lies as clickbait to get you in … and YT just lets that type of content through without murmur.

Some of the worst are youtubes which number … 7 things you need to know about, what were the 5 things which … n3 is controversial!  Plus why X always “hated” Y … either it does not appear at all or it’s something far less than the thumbnail made out.

The saddest part is us, ourselves … many of us still click on these things … if we didn’t, they’d drop them soon enough.  Similarly, if we keep voting in bad govts, low quality politicians … but that’s beyond this post to cover.
