  about Diogenes

In ancient Greece

a new art form--

called rhetoric—

a refined form of speech making. 

Sophists--

the most polished speakers

the world had ever known--

became too good;

people distrusted them;

people felt manipulated.

Sophistry—

a speaker being deceitful.

Diogenes

wandered the streets

looking for an honest man.

Aristotle said

virtue was needed to speak truth. 

Quintilian said

rhetoric is a good man speaking well

Lenin said

a lie told often enough becomes truth. 

Americans must find the truth.

Our nation

depends on a informed electorate. 

Eternal vigilance

is the price of liberty.

 

If

we don’t have an informed electorate,

we don’t have democracy.
 

Ben Franklin was asked after the Constitutional Convention in 187 what kind of government had been created.  He said, “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.”  If American society is dumbed down, the powers that be can forever continue to be the powers that be.  Find the truth. Vote accordingly.
