I know all too well that the truth sometimes is not very pretty and can cause one to be upset. However, the decision to live in denial has an eventual worse price to pay for us all. I see too many people are asleep at the wheel or the person driving is allowed to be an egotistical, greedy, dictating, moron without my best interest in mind - far from with my permission. Those with "status", "office" or "degrees" are NOT any smarter. Most of those are good at rote memorization, regurgitation of (many times, false) material taught them, and passing an "exam", while often having no questioning capability, no compassion for people or other life on Earth. Others (particularly politicians) may even be good at being "popular" or endearing the unquestioning masses in lies and sparkly bull piles. False propaganda floods most every aspect of modern daily life. I am much less easy to be convinced by those that claim to be all knowing or superiority, with A LOT more skeptical questioning than average. My general eye opener of policies, laws, big business, "beliefs", etc..; Who has What to gain? "Truth" is NOT always the same as "Belief".
