Underlings need attention, direction and limits
Direction = set clear goals together, Attention = appraisals when things are done right, Limits = reprimand when things are done wrong. Praise or reprimand directly, don't wait too long.
The rest of the litterature is pretty much expanding on this.
Unfortunately, truth isn't as objective. What you believe to be true will, in effect, be the truth for you. But it is not necessarily a fact. So yes, facts are the truth, but the opposite just ain't so.
The worst ennemy of Truth is not a lie; it is certainty. It is in this sense that I was referring to facts rather than truth.
It's supposed to be a state of higher focus of attention, where consciousness hushes itself out of the way of unconsciousness, thus allowing input to arrive directly into data processing without the filtering of what's right or wrong. That is why people under hypnosis will do almost anything without inhibitions and why they are so gullible (as in believing anything that is said to them to be true).

If you dont have enough money to buy the original product, then go for a copy. As a student you can bet your ass I did it. If people werent so eager to earn enough money to buy a castle or drive a rolls royce or if industries werent so eager to own the whole damn planet, maybe they would start charging affordable prices for all.

I think this applies wonderfully, and more often than not.
That's like saying "Gee, everyone is going over speed limit anyways, let's stop fining".
Making it into an Act essentially officially allows more abusiveness. It's giving the hand for them to take the arm.

"Facts shall set you free" would seem more appropriate when talking about science, but what the hey.

Words are like everything else. It's called inflation. Find a new word for modding, funny now has so little value you can stick it on every post.
Hey, why not turn the land back to the Brittish and French? They colonized it. Heck, they even PAID for discovering it.
