Today a Truthful leader seem so hard to find, between money, people getting their support from 30 second sound bites, the raise of spin, a truthful leader that expressed the truth and reality often has little chance to reach a positions of power. Event my up-coming book about my life may well be rejected or pushed back on because to tell the truth is my first goal.
Knowledge and Truth stand together, not as opposites, I believe as a people it is sunshine by way of frank open talk, the free press is one of our best hopes for the future at the same time large corporations own the news outlets. But the information is out their and we can find it. The people also have to want to know the truth concerning their government, not what bonds up their feelings.

( Experience is a knowledge not gained by words, but by Sight, Sound, Victories, Failure, Sleeplessness, Devotion, Love. The Human experience and Emotions of this Earth. Of ones self, of Other men, and perhaps too, A little Faith, Reverence for things you cannot see....... By: Adlai Stevenson. )
