Yep truth is truth... telling the truth can get you convicted and it can get you killed as the venerable Socrates found out. However "All Governments, all rulers" ...must be submitted to and be obeyed says the dismal gregor-ee. And you have to love them even when they sentence you to death says brumar.

"That the personal enemies indeed of Socrates, vile characters, to whom his wisdom and his virtue were equally offensive, should have accused him of making innovations in the religion of Greece, is by no means surprising; but that very many of modern times should have believed that this accusation was founded in truth, and that he endeavoured to subvert the doctrine of polytheism, is a circumstance which by the truly learned reader must be ranked among the greatest eccentricities of modern wit."
