Fake news, or what was called propaganda, is not new. The French were told that when she heard the peasants had no bread to eat Marie Antoinette heartlessly said, "Let them eat cake." She did not say it. Another lady at another time did, but Marie still lost her head. We have had propaganda from the very beginning. It started when the serpent told Eve she could safely eat the apple. There is a line from an old song, be careful little ears what you hear. That is good advice.

Blood drive
Be a hero. There is always someone who needs your blood. You could save up to three lives. You get free cookies. Sometimes your favorite. Isn't that nice.
