That is why, Rainer, we are ‘blogging’.
Hopefully to find the ‘absolute’ truth; to sift through the various chronicles and histories of the victorious.
Many times, when it does taste sweet, you should be very skeptical. Case in point – the economic stimulus package. Who, if any, does it benefit and pull us out of recession. Free government money has a price. It always has and always will. You may feel like happy days are here again but that light at the end of the tunnel is not what to think. It’s a speeding train that will mow you down when it gets to you.
The things that you may buy are insignificant. What’s needed by your purchase is the factories producing more and putting people back to work so they can buy other product.
It’s the whole story, money makes the world go around, world go around, world go around.
The truth is hidden between the lines of a news story, written or verbally presented. The truth sometimes is a picture whenever it’s returned to its context. The truth in what the government says, and in what’s on the Internet is that which is never said. The truth does at times surface once all parties are at least 100 years dead, even if then. The “truth” used to come from the nation that won the war; today the truth often comes from those who lost the war. And the real, hard truth comes after an election. Judging the truth from a lie would not matter if only truths were locked in space and time. And who are we to decide? Opinion polls decide. Ain’t that the truth? Gawk!

“It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn.” —George Washington
The truth is always the truth of the victorious.

Darrell,
Thanks for your comment on ‘Truth & Medicine’.
A lot of people can’t take ‘truth’. Like some medicine, they have developed an allergy to it.
