Multiple Versions of "Truth" May Explain Racial Tensions

When the woman at the center of the Jamar Clark case finally made a statement after the officers involved in the shooting were cleared, her story has changed from the original story that she told to police. We know that there are multiple versions because the news stations have now put the recordings side-by-side. When you do not know what the truth is and you change it depending on to whom and when you are recounting it, how can any of it be believed? Isn't this what the racial tension is based in?

If you have learned that lying is a means to get your own desired outcome, you are (falsely) causing the mistrust that is harming the society that our children will inherit from us. That puts those who are unable to tell the factual truth at the source of the problem.

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
