Goals

• To promote more effective ways to bring peace, justice and well-being to the world in cooperation with others.
• To provide a framework for storing and disseminating all the information necessary to steer America on a rational course to democracy, peace, and well-being and away from the chaos of our current course.
• To expose the truth.
• To provide voter education information for the 2004 election.
• To empower like-minded people who are trying to take America in a positive direction.

Policies

• Participants are encouraged to post intelligent, reasoned discussions, viewpoints, and proposals rather than content that flames or disparages the intentions of anyone.
• This will be a moderated site and we are looking for moderators to volunteer.

Philosophy

• Responsible Behavior is behavior that we can be proud of afterwards no matter what another person has done or said. No one else's actions justify our own. If we tell untrue stories about someone else's actions to justify our own, then we are not behaving responsibly. We are responsible for controlling our own words and actions, no matter how we think or feel, and no matter what anyone else has done. The most out-of-control persons are those who focus on controlling the behavior of others rather than themselves. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes and we need to forgive ourselves and others, and continue to do our best and enjoy life.
   
  
• Communication is difficult under the best of circumstances. It is difficult to know what others are thinking or feeling, so we communicate, treating others with respect by listening to what they have to say, and make an effort to suspend our own point of view to understand their point of view. Name-calling destroys communications. Imagining that we know what another person thinks without asking them or listening to them is delusional. To perceive accurately, we are aware that there is a difference between our own thoughts and what others think, feel, do and say.
   
  
• Truth empowers all good persons to solve problems and improve the well-being of all. Uncovering the truth is necessary to empower everyone with the knowledge we need to solve the world's problems and have a happier, more healthful, peaceful life.
   
  

Possibilities

• There are many more solutions than there are problems. There are many excellent solutions to our problems that will increase well-being, peace, and democracy and solve the problems of terrorism at the same time.
• Truth is Better will help people spread information to coordinate their efforts.
