I knew a woman who said she would never get into a car with a stranger, yet.... takes a taxi everywhere, never knowing the driver’s name.
I knew a man who spent thousands on a new car with every accessory and gadget available, yet.... scolded a homeless person for wasting a corner of a sandwich on a dog.
I knew a politician who criticised and campaigned against the immorality of modern society, yet.... had his picture in the papers coming out of a brothel.
I knew a father who read lessons in church and took the youth ministry every Sunday, yet.... his daughters gave birth to his children.
I knew a young woman who had a smile that would light up a room every time she arrived, yet.... was able to press the detonator on the plastic explosives strapped around her waist.
I knew a world where such actions and atrocities were hardly ever heard of, yet.... is now almost an everyday occurrence.
I knew a man who was sensitive to inhumanity and would speak out, and... I still do!
I know a lie when I hear one.
