The Last President Who Told The Truth

Having an "other" to blame feels comforting, especially when it is ones greed that empowers and controls the dynamics being projected externally; avoided; denied. This is noted, not to discount a conspiracy, but to see such differently, as pragmatic adaptation at its least mature, and piously executed benevolence at its least rational.

I was probably about 10 when this speech was given, so it is good to hear. BTW, the last politician to tell us the truth was Walter Mondale with "I am going to raise your taxes" [to pay for effecting justice]. Reagan's debt-based 'wealth' via the meme of "greed is 'Go[o]d'" is currently flash frozen in its systemic collapse. It cannot raise enough funds to pay for justice now.

And justice cannot be denied.

This is a secret hidden by greed (an iteration of fear) in plain sight. Such is the 'gift' of motivated reasoning and feeling moral. It bequests us with the repeating history—if this time the lesson is being re-taught on a global scale, and with computer programs amplifying our lack of sapience.

What part of this don't we get? http://is.gd/fDpnI
