For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst; and to provide for it."

    It is the brave who stand for what is true who face opposition from the vast criminal population who misrepresent the real, this is the truth. Very rare is that voice of reason.

    An added tidbit about the conventional attitude. Anyone with mental health and habitual tells the truth is observed by the conventional individual as quite an extravagant expense, a billionaire is entitled to lie a much as that want to, no complaints about every word they express is untrue, but a penny spent on the truth is too expensive.
