All, thanks to Richard Harper, Madison Forum Member, for the below information. Richard's research is accurate and his conclusions are valid. One of the areas of study for my Master's Degree program in Psychology with emphasis in Organization Development, was a strong focus on "Why companies go bankrupt and countries fail." The answer was: "Ignoring the Data, and Denying the Facts."
When we see the facts and the overt data surrounding us, we often think this can't happen to us, and then it does! We are not that clever, but we wish not to do anything that would take us out of our psychological comfort zone. There is more to this discussion than that simple statement, but that sums it up. There are always the people and experts that tell us the "world is really round" and we, unthinkingly accept their admonition because we abdicate to their so called authority.
I just heard Peter King, (Rep NY), state on Fox News that the Constitution "absolutely gives the President the power to go to war." What utter nonsense! But, he makes my case. Only Congress has the power to declare war. That is a fact that we all know. So as you read the information below, please know there are politicians who lie to you and tell you they have told you the truth. E.G. Bill Clinton's statement, "I did not have sex with that woman...Monica Lewinsky." Or Nixon's statement, "I am not a crook."
Or the big lie behind the "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" that North Vietnamese gun boats attacked our warships. That big lie cost America 50,000 causalities. This has been the reality of politicians and the fate of countries throughout the ages. The lie helps them fool the people. However, the people cannot be fooled all the time, and we are becoming more knowledgeable of deception and truth. Americans are now becoming very angry as they know that they have been duped by those whom they trusted time and time again. Please forward to your lists.
