The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates
taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once they
start to
question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If a certain
belief
passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, it should be kept. If it

doesn't, the belief should not only be discarded, but the thinker must
also then
question why he was led to believe the erroneous information in the first
place. Not surprisingly, this type of teaching didn't sit well with the
ruling
elite of Greece. Many political leaders throughout history have always
sought to
mislead the thinking of the masses. Socrates was tried for "subversion"
and for
"corrupting the youth". He was then forced to take his own life by drinking

poison. It's never easy being an independent thinker! Today, our ruling
government/media complex doesn't kill people for pursuing the truth about the

world (at least not yet!) They simply label them as "extremists" or
"paranoid", destroying careers and reputations in the process. For many,
that's
a fate even worse than drinking poison hemlock!

end of quote.

I think it must be wrong cause' governments do kill people that open
their mouths (too much).
