Self-accountability; oxymoron

If the character and courage necessary to hold one's self honestly accountable to meaningful standards of conduct were common place,

there would be no need to tell our children a several hundred year old story, about George Washington and a cherry tree.

It is not in human nature to step up to honest accountability.

Accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence cannot depend upon self accountability.

It is not in human nature to step up to honest accountability.

Self accountability is not accountability at all.

Yet it is the very foundation of good ol' boy tyrany.

Good ol' boys are all about self exception to accountability.

They get away with it by threatening dissenters with a gavel;
a deadly weapon in more ways than one.

And by denying due process to legitimate complaints.


The floor of any meaningful standard of conduct and competence for anyone who we are required to trust, should be that

they have to tell us the truth about what they are doing with our trust and our treasure.

Why should we trust someone who will not answer legitimate
questions candidly and forthrightly and honestly
and rather immediately?

If we can't trust them, why do we continue to allow them to spend our resources and wield our power?



The time for torches and pitchforks is upon us.

Torches and pitchforks is the only method by which tyrants have ever been deposed.

Torches and pitchforks is the only method by which tyrants
can be deposed.


Courage, character, honor, .... family values.
