Does America really care about this word any more... I grew up in a small rural country town, where there was no tolerance for lying. As I have aged and looked at all sides for an impartial viewpoint, it appears no. As long as a percent agrees with your "current" viewpoint. I think that I truly fall middle of the road in the big scheme of political viewpoints and that's sometimes not easy, with a changing climate...But pure truth and pure honesty (to me) should never be an issue. Does it matter to you and I do not need an explanation of "honest"?
