**Disclaimer

Who(m) are any of us to say what the truth is??

Issue verdicts in the interest of self-righteous ego-soothing?

Rendering accusatory judgements colonizing people in distinct columns of right and wrong, stupid and smart, just and corrupt?

​

Me.

​

I am.

​

...But that's just my shadow self, Sue Ellen (or, SWELLEN, as they say in France), talking. Would that it were so easy, sweet girl.

​​

Perception is a powerful mechanism to the wielder of POV. 

Mine is in the words of my blog, Piratical Vagenda. My perception.

 

Not **ABSOLUTE TRUTH**

 

Though I might issue proclamations and declare judgments, I understand I do not have the monopoly on truth. Here and there, the reader might find my indulgence in embellishment for the sake of storytelling. I am human, first and foremost, and I do so like to please myself.

​

HOWEVER!​

My words should never be held as gospel truth, invariable fact, or paralyzed testimony.

...Certainly not as would be admissible in, say... a divorce trial, should one be mandated following the ridiculously expensive appeal of an already-concluded and ridiculously expensive divorce trial when the kids need braces and college tuition and and and.
