telling the truth . .
Whatever happenned to telling the truth? Abe Lincoln made
a big deal about that and teaching our children to be moral and
ethical was based on telling the truth. Our legal system was
based on truth telling...I say, 'was' . And it was up to the adults
surrounding the 'teller' to assist in the exploration of truth, NOT
THE CONFOUNDING OF IT OR HIDING IT.
And no matter the outcome, telling one's truth and taking responsibility
for it was the basis of our whole society. The snake oil salesman turned
into the mafia "just a good businessman", turned into the wealthy
corporate executive who loved his customers so much, he could do
no wrong, turned into manipulative legislators who needed the corporate
executives to tell them what to do. And the poor legislators thought
they should do the bidding of the corporate executives because
why else would they be paid millions a year in salaries. They MUST be
really smart and knowledgeable. There are a few legislators left who
still seek the truth and they are appropriately hopping angry.
Does the Bush Admin. reflect the people or do the people reflect the
President?
Now, someone telling the truth either excites people because its so
rare, or it is dismissed as foolish.
Seizing the opportunity to 'take advantage' is now the motto of our
people from the Pres. of the U.S. on down to the woman who sat in
her car 15 minutes (or however long it took for the police to
get there) preparing her statement to the police with the support
and help of her family.
Not many people can do psychotherapy anymore...or talk therapy
because talk therapy depends on people telling the truth. Even
the 12 step programs have become nothing but a platform for promoting
what they want other people to believe. Lies become the ticket.
ENTER THE DRUGS: You see, drugs make it possible to get a
resemblance to sanity without telling the truth and without sanity. Then who needs
talk therapy? Then all they need is a social club and its gossip to
further promote what they want other people to believe.....having
nothing to do with telling the truth, or growth or development into
adulthood.
Bush needs more drugs. His insanity is showing through.
The drug companies sure know what they're doing. I guess we don't
need to work at being sane or healthy if we can take a drug that
makes us appear sane or healthy. When the breakdown comes
I think it will be whopping.

Well, I wouldn't say any of this was new. Power corrupts, and it was ever thus. You think Henry VIII was honest with the Pope? No, he wanted a son. And Pilate stood up and washed his hands.
