We The People are still responsible and to blame for any cons we have fallen for that have ultimately enslaved us. We must learn to treat promises with the risk that comes with them. By treating promises as if they were the real thing, we start an endless cycle of gambling in a rigged game. Integrity is more than just keeping your word -- it also means NOT making promises one has to keep. A society without a sense of honor and humility will ever try to con itself and others of the 'promise' to come for which we must pay with our liberty now. -- E Archer, NYC
