Compulsive lying, if not addressed, can easily ruin a relationship and why do we need to lie in the first place. Compulsive lying can be dealt with through counseling or therapy. But, like any addictive behavior (and/or personality disorder), getting someone to admit they have a problem with lying is the difficult part.
We must all sort out the lies from their source …and right now our Democracy depends on it.

World Rhino Day: Day, history, significance © Provided by Newsable Asianet News
World Rhino Day, observed on September 22nd each year, is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the dire plight of rhinoceroses and the urgent need for their conservation. This day serves as a call to action for individuals, organizations, and governments worldwide to come together to protect these magnificent creatures and their natural habitats. In this article, we will delve into the history, significance, and ongoing conservation efforts that make World Rhino Day a crucial event in the global calendar.
World Rhino Day was first established in 2010 by Lisa Jane Campbell, founder of the nonprofit organization “Rhino Horn is Not Medicine.” The date, September 22nd, was chosen to coincide with the birthday of a white rhinoceros named “Rhinoceros” who was born at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Uganda. This symbolic day aimed to celebrate these ancient creatures and draw attention to the alarming threat of extinction they face due to poaching, habitat loss, and illegal trade in their horns.
Significance of World Rhino Day
World Rhino Day holds immense significance as it brings to the forefront the critical issues surrounding rhino conservation. Rhinos are among the most endangered species on the planet, with their populations dwindling at an alarming rate. By highlighting their plight, this day encourages governments, wildlife organizations, and the public to take concrete steps to protect these gentle giants.

On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issues a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which sets a date for the freedom of more than 3 million enslaved in the United States and recasts the Civil War as a fight against slavery.
When the Civil War broke out in 1861, shortly after Lincoln’s inauguration as America’s 16th president, he maintained that the war was about restoring the Union and not about slavery. He avoided issuing an anti-slavery proclamation immediately, despite the urgings of abolitionists and radical Republicans, as well as his personal belief that slavery was morally repugnant. Instead, Lincoln chose to move cautiously until he could gain wide support from the public for such a measure.
In July 1862, Lincoln informed his cabinet that he would issue an emancipation proclamation but that it would exempt the so-called border states, which had slaveholders but remained loyal to the Union. His cabinet persuaded him not to make the announcement until after a Union victory. Lincoln’s opportunity came following the Union win at the Battle of Antietam in September 1862.
On September 22, the president announced that enslaved people in areas still in rebellion within 100 days would be free.

Upton Sinclair, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and reformer, is born in Baltimore, Maryland on September 20, 1878.
The 1906 bestseller was one of the most influential books in American history—but not in the way its author intended.
Upton Sinclair published The Jungle in 1906, the novel became an instant sensation, exposing the horrifying conditions in America’s meat-processing industry. With its stomach-turning depictions of the stockyards and slaughterhouses, the book lit a new fire under the pure food movement and inspired swift passage of landmark food safety laws.
Two years earlier, in the fall of 1904, Sinclair had boarded a train to Chicago in search of material for his Great American Novel. For seven weeks, the 26-year-old writer and devout socialist investigated the dangerous and oppressive working conditions endured by what he called “the wage slaves of the Beef Trust.” Donning grimy clothes and carrying a dinner pail to sneak into Chicago’s “Packingtown,” a dense complex of stockyards, feed lots, slaughterhouses and meat-packing plants, Sinclair was horrified by what he saw.
Titled The Jungle as a metaphor for capitalism, Sinclair’s novel originally appeared in monthly installments between February and November 1905 in the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason. It tells the story of an idealistic Lithuanian immigrant working for a fictional meat-processing company who loses his family, job, home and health in a succession of calamities before finding hope in socialism.
The Jungle had a limited audience at first, but it became a bestselling sensation when Doubleday, Page & Company published a revised version in February 1906. It sold more than 150,000 copies in its first year.
Much as Uncle Tom’s Cabin had influenced the national conversation about slavery, Sinclair hoped his epic would spark outrage about “wage slavery” and promote socialism as a solution. The Jungle did shock the American public and prompt legislative change—but not in the way he wanted.
