Philosophy

It is incumbent upon governments of a democracy to face the truth in all affairs and to inform the people of the realities with which they, as a people, must confront.

In the United States, since the Truman Administration, more and more the communication of government and participants in the conduct of affairs has been by contrived perception, so much that many now believe "perception is reality." The source of these perceptions are political campaigns, special interests or advocate groups.
