Thought for the day:

" You're smart when you only believe half of what you hear, Wise is when you know which half to
believe. "
 
You can't even do that today. With today's technology anything can be created for viewing or most anything else. "Seeing Is Believing" saying in today's world is a misnomer. Sad but true.
 
The downside is, when the cell phones (don't like them) and the Internet is put down by 'outside' influences, those with a pencil and a solar powered calculator will come into play. 'Smart' phones have trapped millions into a false sense of security.
