“Everybody lies.”  That may be true, for in the last few years there have sure been some public whoppers. I've been trying to understand why there isn't a greater demand for truth.  Bernie Madoff ripped off his investors for decades.  One can easily understand why he lied: by doing so he enabled a lavish lifestyle and was adulated by thousands.  A more important question is: why did so many people believe him?

Your body is your temple: Care for it!
Do not engage in useless activity.
Listen to the Goddess.
Help thyself.
You create your own reality.
 

In Medeval times there was a group called "Troubadours". They were a group of traveling mistrels of sorts. They would give people a liittle song, a little dance, some drama, and storytelling. It was the first incarnation of the 'variety show'. Today we would call them "Bards". The Troubadours would perform for nobles and peasants alike. It didn't matter to them either way.
