Thanks again. I will read that one, also, and I hope that others will do the same.

I tend to still enjoy some of the old truisms, though they really seem to have fallen out of favor. Some are maybe less applicable these days, but: A thinking man is a dangerous man, fits well here along with, knowledge is power. The sword was also a symbol for the intellect, long ago, and it is obvious as to why, though, it was said, the pen is mightier than the sword. Gee, that was a truism tangent.

It is an information age and not only do we have to investigate it, but we also need to hone our discernment to be able to sort out the facts from the many, manipulative fictions. That's not really hard, but it does take a little effort and practice.

I am just sharing that for whomever reads these comments. I do find that the more solid information, (recent and historical) you have in your stash, the better you can digest, absorb and discern the rest.

Keep on keeping on, and may the truth set us all free.
