This is just an attempt to tell you the truth. I do not mean to offend or cause problems. I just wish to show you what has been happening for many, many years. We all have been lied to all of our lives.

It is just like when your parents told you about Santa Clause. When they first told you, you believed whole heartedly. Especially after you saw all of the presents appear from nowhere. How else could it have happened? It must have been Santa!

A few years later to start to realize that Santa isn't real and you confront your parents or someone else about it and they assure that he's real even though you know he's not. If you expose the truth to those unaware of it then they hate you because you are telling them that their parents are liars, which to them simply is an outrageous claim. When they tell an adult, who is fully aware of the lie, they comfort the child tell him santa is real that your the liar. Then you get in trouble for telling the truth. You also have people mad at you for telling them that they are being deceived.

Now as an adult I tell you that Santa isn't real. Do you get mad at me? No, because it is now common knowledge to you that Santa is a fictional character. You are over the initial pain of the realization that you were lied to about an amazing man who judged you and gave you gifts if you were good but if you were bad than you got a lump of coal. You are no longer mad at the child who exposed the truth to you(if it wasn't you who had figured it out) and you have also forgiven all of the people who lied to you and told you Santa was real.

Keep that in mind as you read this essay. Don't kill the messenger. Be mad at the ones who lied to you not at me for just telling you the message. To quote Ian Lungold "I am doing this no more than I killed the dinosaurs.". So please keep an open mind while reading this. Also some of this may be hard to believe and I hope instead of just disregarding it you actually research the information in question or just any information so you know for yourself it is true. Also I may leave out some facts so if you do research it you will also be able to learn not just more about the particular piece but even new things I didn't even mention.

Seriously if you simply cannot handle the truth please stop reading now. For those who don't want to know the whole story please read on as I will start small and work my way up. The truth is hard to take sometimes so if
