Compelled by Truth
What is it that they say about the truth?
That it will “set you free?” Or, “Satyameva jayate,” it is only truth that wins? Or Daniel Webster’s “Nothing is so powerful as the truth?” Or that it is “out there,” somewhere?

This has scared me enough to compile a 3-page summary information document in the dearly-held hope that it may help communities:
I hope it helps you, my patient reader, and all to whom you forward it. (Please do so with abandon!)
The truth notwithstanding, I shall not leave you in a sombre mood. Here are creative thoughts from others pondering this virulent monster we face:
May TRUTH always be with, and keep you!
