\u00e2\u20ac\u0153An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because no one will see it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 -Mahatma Gandhi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I would know the whole of the truth and make preparation for it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201cPatrick Henry<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n My neighbor, Frank, and I were chatting outside his house the other day. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s become well aware of my passion for researching and writing on issues which are reported on television, and how I often offer \u00e2\u20ac\u0153outside-the-box\u00e2\u20ac\u009d perspectives on both past and current events. He has never taken me up on any of my challenges to check out my sources, and, most of the time, we simply agree to disagree.<\/p>\n We both agree, however, that the movie \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Matrix\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is still one of the best \u00e2\u20ac\u0153sy-fy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d movies ever made. Frank has watched it several times. So, on this day, I decided to use this movie as a metaphor while we discussed our usual array of topics. Recently, he has come to suspect that something isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite right, that maybe we are being mislead on some topics like the economy, for example. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s begun to worry about his 401k\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6if it will be there for him and his family. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the thorn in the back of your mind,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I replied, quoting the character Morpheus in the movie. I left him thinking that maybe he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right to be suspicious\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
