When this era of darkness in America ends (if it does),

[mmonk]

will there have to be a truth commission by informed people for the people of this country to come to grips with the reality of these years? I have to wonder if truth can return in general to American life.

1. It will... it always does...

...these things happen in waves, or like a pendulum.

But to answer your question, no, there will not be a truth commission, and no, we will not learn from our mistakes. In the long run, anyway. We never do!

2. IMHO, they think we can't handle the truth

That chaos and anarchy would prevail, blah blah blah.

3. There needs to be something

I want a mammoth investigation of how a clique of full-time liars emerged from the lower rungs of the Ford Aministration to manipulate America into this mess. The whole perversion of US political life and decision-making process needs addressing.
