To the Editor:

Sometimes the truth is inconvenient, ugly or hurts, at least in the short term. Strong men and women of moral character understand this and act accordingly, taking their lumps along the way. Weaker people are more apt to shy away from moral responsibility, hiding behind half-truths promoted by swamp denizens who benefit at the expense of others. Big government is an opiate to these addicts. We have become an indoctrination nation in need of intervention.
