About Exposing Falsehoods by Michael Uhryn An Examination of Public Deception "Man is not what he ought to be, and that he ought to be, that he could be."

Many scholars and people take the view that peace and prevention of war is achievable, greater economic and societal equality is attainable, adoption of participatory democracy is desirable and practical, and working out a program on climate change and environmental sustainability is feasible. Moreover, the mythology of human greed can be unraveled, racism can be subdued, empire building can be curtailed, and unemployment and poverty can be eliminated."
