Let's make TRUTH the National Language, & support those who speak it.
Any language, when it's packed full of lies, is a dead language, we need a new one, but first we need to find people who speak this strange, mysterious language of truth. We're looking for just one honest man who is fluent in it.

7. That's also sexist in the context you used it. Some folks don't get it
about some things. But I applaud your post about the language of Truth.

10. The difference between
truthiness and lies is pretty much entirely one of belief.

Eliminate the lies, and you eliminate the possibility of truthiness.

5. I second that.
I hate being lied to by anyone. I'm an adult, I can handle the truth.
