As I was reading the Forum section of the Bee this morning, I was struck by the number of letter writers and columnist that seemed to have “truth” on their side. It was the same thing in the Chico paper…everyone has the truth on their side! So why do we disagree? Apparently, “truth” is elusive.
And then I thought, wouldn’t it be great if there were an organization that you could turn to, to determine where the truth is, about everything…And, what if we mandated that the Legislature become the truth seekers and not the law makers? There is a novel idea! Every day they would have to sit down and hammer away at every question that came up and determine the truth. Of course, lobbyists would not be allowed to speak to them and they would have to rely on sack lunches for their midday sustenance, but the laws would soon take care of themselves and dignity would be restored to their chosen profession. Arguments would soon fade away; “ask a congressman” would be the solution to end all arguments. Utopia!
