TRUTH suckles success.

To deny TRUTH is to deny victory.

Is TRUTH wasted on deaf ears?

Is dislike the only reason to state TRUTH?

TRUTH insults those who fear it

TRUTH offends those who hate it.

Does TRUTH insult the sane?

Who is the guarantor of TRUTH?

Those who deny REALITY destroy themselves.

Are teachers of LIES educators?

Have I ever asked anyone to call me "FATHER"?

Accepting abuse is contrary to honoring and respecting ourselves and others.

Children father our IMMORTALITY.

By "obscene" do CENSORS mean "unfashionable"?

Are blind hedonistic swine Life's only SALVATION?

Those who do not CONFESS their errors to those they have erred against are less likely to have other opportunities to err against them. 2- 21-98

Is FANTASY a poor substitute for reality? Is ART ithe manifestation of life?
Can passive and pacifist citizens whose minds have not been immunized resist the PROPAGANDA of exploiters?
Are nationality and CITIZENSHIP determined by ancestry, or by geography and government?

11/21
Does praising ourselves glorify our CREATOR?
Perhaps prevaricating PREACHERS purvey prejudice.
Is GENEROSITY a spirit that can be repaid only in kind, or something to be measured by accountants?

Savage medicine for savages? (Similar meaning to "What's good for the goose is good for the gander")
