Excuse me Ric
but the the TRUTH GUESS STOP O
(O stands for organization)
has no modesty.
The membership actually KNOW the TRUTH
the WHOLE TRUTH
and nothing but the TRUTH.
They do not hold opinions about events
or circumstances.
They do not tell stories about their experience
from a personal point of view.
They do not get involved.
They manage ABSOLUTE OBJECTIVITY;
they see and document animate and inanimate objects
only AS truthFULLY EXISTENT IN REALITY.

Thankfully fluxus (flow and change)
continues in the realization
that TRUTH requires exploration in unknown realms
and perception of REALITY varies
with every individual within every species
and most certainly when using scientific instruments.
