I Have Isolated the Problem With America and Now It Can Be Repaired, Maybe?

I have isolated the problem with America and now it can be repaired, maybe? Of course I am just using that as a lead in but after much writing, research and contemplation I have come to the opinion the problem with anyone who uses truth and facts as a basis for anything is at a definite disadvantage. People just do not really want the truth. They will tell you they do but in reality, they don't. They will actually run from it when they can. Examples not needed many of us have experienced it first hand. Yes and a local newspaper runs a full page each day to get this "keep the facts and truth honest". I ask why bother? It is called facts or truth. So, I thought the helpful hints listed below will help those who wish to present something without any bickering about who is right or wrong and especially about these candidates.
Why well even the media must be politically sensitive, correct, walk gently so as to not offend. Hey we don't want to present reality as example, HIV is predominantly related to one group and that is drug users. Why, because then they will be very offended you labeled them with truth and facts and anyway how did we come to know that and is it truth and how do we know it is truth and who says it is truth, etc?
So today, as it really has always been, because who really wants the truth and facts, it is better truth and facts not be presented openly. We reserve that for when no one is listening. So what do we get? Well a lot of half truth, denial, fabrication, redirection, labeling, smear and everything else that Paul Harvey made his career on reporting "and now the rest of the story'. We actually, as some have said, sort of come to expect it. It is in my opinion by nature of our indoctrination acceptable and ok for our leaders, especially our political leaders. It, in my opinion, is now more of a way of life, expected. So in the case of our candidates and politicians is it possible many vote for them and condone it because they are good at it? Rhetorically one supposes that they ought to be able to wheel and deal and of course "stretch" the truth and along with that they should certainly be good at deception. Hey they better be good when they deal with world leaders, right?
Now the truth and facts of this can be found openly everywhere. It is there for all to see, hear or read if one cares to. It is called their works. Yet you better not mention that or them or by fact you will be labeled. Yes labeled for speaking truth with facts. In fact you will be shut down, out and off. While those who deny the truth and the facts do nothing, ignore and yet go about brazenly professing and openly portraying themselves in the light and right?
So with that there really is no more to say. So if one should want to get state their point the following 10 rules must be implemented. So here are the what I call the guidelines of success. I in fact think they are being utilized and implemented right now in this election.
1- Never use fact or truth. No never. You are asking to be labeled, criticized, hung in effigy, etc.
2- When you write, say what you want to say but cover all the bases gently, leave no one out, even if they do not belong in what you are speaking about because that does not point to any one group, entity, etc but leaves it open ended. You can never be accused. Never tell the entire truth and use words that avoid being direct or perceived as directed toward anything so as to not offend anyone with facts or truth. Therefore you can deny all or say you were misquoted.
3- Always attack facts or truth by countering with who says facts are facts and truth is truth? No this is key to the defense. Destroy credibility and you are half way there. You do this by stretching it, fabrication, embellishment, character assassination, etc.
4- Always say what you want and not worry about backing up what you say with fact or truth. No one wants it or believes it anyway.
5- Always consider the packaging because that is what most are interested in. Dress up your work with pictures because this is a visual society.
6- Always keep it short that way you won't have to write too much fact or truth.
7- Provide no substance but write enough so that the reader is totally confused about the facts and truth.
8- Always ignore the facts and truth at all costs and write around the issues at hand.
9- Always provide your own facts and truth which are not necessarily facts or truth but present your concepts so that they are perceived as facts and truth and really confuse the reader.
10 Finally be the politician in you and you will never fail or worry about facts or truth.
Of course I am being facetious, because there are many who want and demand the truth. Yet if we really sit down and contemplate and take our politicians as but one example, what do we see, hear, know? I don't know about you but what I just listed as a bit of humor is eerily scary.
After contemplation one wonders why so many are going out to vote for their candidate if there is so much. lets say questionable information? Really why? Si if true then more then ever I feel I have isolated the problem with America and now it can be repaired. That is if we can accept what I say as truth and truth really does truth matter, then again does fact matter? And if not then what does matter? Yes and who says I am speaking the truth? Ok who cares, because evidently the bottom line is many people will believe what they want to believe regardless of truth or facts, not all of course, but many.
