' rick brings up a good point. my direct experience with government officials and bureaucrats tells me that it is SOP to downplay a bad situation with language that doesn't come across as "scary." perhaps it is more frightening to think that doublespeak is a way of life now. n'est pas? No, it's just recognition of reality. But, then, that's very un-American, isn't it?

recognition of reality is very unamerican? come on numan, you know that the two of us likely agree on more than less, but is it unamerican? perhaps it is at odds with human nature.
whatever the case, the reality, as you put it, is ever present and has been so for quite some time. you might be shocked at how many american humans actually see it that way. shocked, i tell you!
sure, you can talk to god, but if you don't listen then what's the use? so, onward through the fog!

Today's reality? Is not Reality Truth and Truth Eternal? What is Reality if it be not what is? What be Truth if it is not?

Yes, few people are aware that Einstein disliked the term Theory of Relativity, which other people gave to his work. He preferred the "Theory of Invariance"---referring to the invariance of physical laws, and the invariance of the speed of light.
