Find the truth and have the courage to uphold the truth

Dear Editor,
 Joe Friday from the TV show “Dragnet” said, “Facts, just the facts Sir.” This dates me I guess. Sometimes the simplest things, those that are followed by DAH! are the things we need to put together to find “common sense.” (And, whoever said sense was common?)
 A saying that keeps going through my mind (a variation used by several thought provoking people like Mark Twain and Will Rogers) goes like this. “The trouble with most people is not that they don’t know much, but that they know so much that isn’t true.”
