agreed.

unfortuantely, you might be right.
speaking the truth doesn't usually wins popularity contests -- it's why politicians rarely tell the truth.
MLK, for instance, was hated by most of America before he was murdered. presumably most of america wanted to ignore him because they thought his 'moral compasss' was 'completely uncalibrated'. he decided to tell what he considered to be the truth, and paid for it with his life. didn't help that the FBI probably had a hand in murdering him. so from that point of view, hopefully you are correct, and i'm being ignored, and i won't be murdered by some nazi (with or without the allged help of the fbi).
