Happen, Leaving, Moment

Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don't know whether it's a new thing, but it's certainly a current thing, in that it doesn't seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
Stephen Colbert

Mean, Everything, Country

Jerry Garcia

Mean, Find, Grateful

Desmond Tutu

Sun, Order, Open
