'Truth Will Set U Free' is about honesty. My philosophic belief that ultimately being true to yourself is liberating with every individual's inalienable right to be who they are without fear or recrimination.
Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means... airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash.
I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.
There are many countries where you can only believe more or you can believe less.

For more than 200 years materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs.
