A substantive integrity is far superior to the shallow persons hypocrisy. I would much rather talk to a persons that has a deep conviction contrary to mine than someone who would placate a topic at hand.

Just say NO to statism! ;-)

This is useful advice for anyone who wants to be active in his or her community. "Yes" and "No" are interchangeable in this case.

The " No" that brought the British Empire to its knees. Gandhi sought peace through Independence, between Islam, Hindus and Hebrews. Iraq, India and Israel, established as Independent nations. The Balfour Declaration stands true today, as it did then.
Homologoumenos, without controversy, to declare openly by way of speaking out freely, such confession being the effect of deep convictions of Fact. The United States of America was established as an Independent Constitutional Republic.
