I don’t need to tell readers here that governments lie. We all know that lies are fundamental to manipulating the citizenry. This does not mean, however, that you shouldn’t pay attention to what government spokespeople say. If you know how to listen, you can gather vital intel to protect yourself and your family. By understanding why certain things are said—or not said—you can improve your chances of surviving government-created calamities and maybe even come out ahead of the game sometime.

ReplyDeleteUh-Uh.......I'm too old for that junk, and I'm tired of it, to boot.
Say what you mean, and mean what you say; or BE GONE!
There was a guy, who grew up near where I did, who was such a liar that even when he DID tell the truth, people still called him a liar. Anybody that knew him well didn't have much use for him.
That's our government today, in a nutshell.

"You must study to be frank with the world. Frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion, and take it for granted that you mean to do right. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot; you would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind."

Exactly! :)
DeletePoor communication has caused more than a few break-ups, injuries, fights, and even wars to occur.
Heh!
Course, you can cause all those things by just being frank, too :)
