Can you BELIEVE this guy Shonell?

"JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TRUTH AND LIES ...

According to Webster, a LIE is defined as:

1.) a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive;
       an INTENTIONAL UNTRUTH; a FALSEHOOD..

2.) something intended or serving to convey a FALSE
      IMPRESSION; imposture: His flashy car was a lie
      that deceived no one.

3.) an INACCURATE or FALSE STATEMENT.

4.) the charge or accusation of LYING:

THE TRUST OF THE INNOCENT IS THE LIAR'S

MOST USEFUL TOOL! DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING

YOU HEAR!

With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Richard

Happy MEMORIAL DAY from Washington DC Shonell!

I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ROLLING THUNDER ...

The Rolling Thunder Bike Rally takes place every year in Washington D.C. where almost 900,000 bikers converge on our nation’s capital in remembrance of our brave soldiers who are missing in action, prisoners of war and those men and women who have given their lives fighting for our freedom.

FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE! WE MUST BE WILLING TO

PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.

ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL

IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING!

With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Richard
