“The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.”

The prudent man will get his news from many sources so that he is getting news and not just opinions.

In the end, it all comes down to individual honor and conscience. Then we deal with the price and consequences. Liberty isn't free -- never has been.

The simple believe every word that commeth from inside the beltway but a prudent man knows it's a bunch of bull shit.

"The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge." Proverbs 14:18

Can we always say that someone is always simple or always prudent, or can we always say that individuals are always not simple or always not prudent?  Life is a developmental journey. Different situations require different demands.
