- The image shows an open notebook with handwritten text on two white pages. The handwriting is in a dark ink, possibly brown or black, with a somewhat cursive and uneven style. The text covers most of the pages, organized into distinct sections on each page. The left page contains lines that align vertically, while the right page has text that is similarly arranged. Both pages have several lines of text, with gaps and breaks noticeable between them. Each page also has a paperclip attached in the bottom corners, securing additional pages underneath.

Left page: My child's brain didn't yet know the word hypocrisy. I just understood Lies.
And now, the highest leaders of this country have said to every child-Lie is ok, if it works for you. Break laws, if it saves you. This victory for some is a failure of epic
Right page: We might as well tell all children,
"Lying is good if it gets you what you want."
"Greed is good."
"Thinking you are better than someone else, that's good too."
Younger people than me will need to decide what kind of world they want to live in.
--failed bankruptcy of proportions
