Truth is a Hard Pill to Swallow at Times, Censored Comments on Advance Media's "al.com Scottsboro's Forum."

Censorship in the United States thru poitical influence of politicians is alive and well in North Alabama. Apparently local media discussion forum editors, al.com, allow politicians to control content of local discussion boards. Political Tyrants in action. The question is do the citizens care? Mr. Franklin's words concerning the issue: " Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

{The following is part of the censored content of the "al.com Scottsboro Forum."} " Jackson County has the highest incident rate in the state for male brain cancers and the second highest for female specific cancers. There is a reason. The answer might surprise some, and it is most likely found in your drinking water. Facts that local political leadership do not want you to know about. They are afraid that folks will not want to buy property on the north portion of Goose Pond Island. Money vs. truth, truth takes a back seat. By the way, all this hullabaloo about weeds in the lake around boat docks, the Chamber of Commerce involvement, all about Goose Pond Island. It's ok to dig up native American burials and dump them into the river, poison our water, our local politicians out right lie to us but heaven forbid someone tell the truth about the reality around us."

" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chXjCtkymRQ Every political representative should receive a copy of this video. Our troops may be your sons, daughters,relatives, friends and fellow citizens of Scottsboro. This is atrocious and criminal. This is what occurs when politicians stand to benefit from mercenary warfare. All of these contracted positions were formally filled by the military."

"Has anyone ever considered why the aquatic weeds are out of control? Maybe it is because of a high nitrogen-phosphorus content in the water. Poisoning of the water is not the answer. In some places the milfoil and hydrilla as well as other aquatic weeds are harvested for livestock feed and fertilizer. I guess that makes to much sense for reactionary politicians who will lie to the public at the drop of a hat for a photo opportunity."

Another Franklin quote which applies to the deceit of our local State and Federal political leadership: "The art of concluding from experience and observation consists in evaluating probabilities, in estimating if they are high or numerous enough to constitute proof. This type of calculation is more complicated and more difficult than one might think. It demands a great sagacity generally above the power of common people. The success of charlatans, sorcerors, and alchemists—and all those who abuse public credulity—is founded on errors in this type of calculation."
