Hello David: Truth is Not Bill Clinton; and we all know the truth
often does not set one free in a criminal court, but sends one to the
slammer.
Truth is what is left when all that is false has been eroded or worn
away - the old third degree?
Truth is, that Bill Shannon has never even a sloppy, mesy, Rice Crispie
Bar.....he probably thrives on Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes.
Now for pure truth as any barnyard alchmist know, one must purge and
refine and - look at melting pot in Ezekial...boil away the scum until
pure light if one looks for radium.
So here is what is said to be pure truth. I had a little boy like that
once - he could ot lie and I find it difficult to this day to try to
lie...one might avoid the truth of a matter and ignore it, but to plain
lie.....my son went swimming, and had a new 7 dollar billfold with 2
dollars in it......he jumped into pool, came back and his billfold was
gone.
Now he did not know what it was to steal, so he learned the hard way.
When he found out who did it, he went to their house and knocked on the
door (and he was only 5) and demanded his billfold back. He could see
it on the table - and the father of the child said prove that is your
billfold.
He saw another great truth - people like like hell and liars run often
in families.
He came home, got a dozen eggs, and went back to the house and let them
have it.
When the police came and asked him if he did that he said "can you prove
those are my eggs".
So end of truth. Beginning of making of good lawyer.
Smart kid. Never lied and never stole ....boy scout and they ruined
him with all that crap because he would turn in his own mother if he saw
her jay walking.
Pure truth......it is enough to get you killed these days.

What they say truth is - my idea of truth - pure truth - is angel of
light with horns.
Smart enough to tell truth but cover his ass.....old lawyer joke.
Eclecticism
"Eclecticism" is a name given to a group of ancient philosophers who,
from the existing philosophical beliefs, tried to select the doctrines
that seemed to them most reasonable, and out of these constructed a new
system (see Diogenes Laertius, 21). The name was first generally used in
the first century BCE.
Stoicism and Epicureanism had made the search for pure truth subordinate
to the attainment of practical virtue and happiness. Skepticism had
denied that pure truth was possible to discover.
Eclecticism sought to reach by selection the highest possible degree of
probability, in the despair of attaining to what is absolutely true. In
Greek philosophy, the best known Eclectics were the Stoics Panaetius
(150 BCE.) and Posidonius (75 BCE.). The New Academic, Carnaedes (155
BCE.), and Philo of Larissa (75 BCE.). Among the Romans, Cicero, whose
cast of mind made him always doubtful and uncertain of his own attitude,
was thoroughly eclectic, uniting the Peripatetic, Stoic, and New
Academic doctrines, and seeking the probable (illud probabile). The same
general line was followed by Varro, and in the next century the Stoic
Seneca propounded a philosophical system largely based on eclecticism.
In the late period of Greek philosophy there appears an eclectic system
consisting of a compromise between the Neo-Pythagoreans and the various
Platonic sects. Still another school is that of Philo Iudaeus, who at
Alexandria, in the first century CE. interpreted the Old Testament
allegorically, and tried to harmonize it with selected doctrines of
Greek philosophy. Neo-Platonism, the last product of Greek speculation,
was also a fusion of Greek philosophy with eastern religion. Its chief
representatives were Plotinus (230 CE.), Porphyrius (275 CE.),
Iamblichus (300 CE.), and Proclus (450 CE.). The desire of this school
was to attain right relations between God and humans, and was thus
religious.
