Integrity

Take it with a grain of salt.
Don't believe without good cause.
Take it at face value, and
Be prepared to take the loss
Of common knowledge
And beliefs,
Of misconceptions played as facts,
Of backward information,
And shocking, gross misdeeds.
Don't believe everything you read.
Ask questions.
Follow up.
There's a gaping hole
Patched with an agenda
In the stories that we see.
