The real travesty in the development of public policy today is the absence of truth in the method used to define a problem, whether it is the "climate change" fraud or the health care "crisis".
When a government refuses to acknowledge truth, derived using the scientific method which includes and tests all variables, includes data that contraindicates the hypothesis, and welcomes critical thinking and challenges to that hypothesis, we are on the brink of tyranny of a sort that is lethal to both the founding principles of our republic and to the human spirit that is the fuel needed to preserve it.
