I heard a rumor that it was an invention of a civil war general so his troops could keep their smokes clean and dry in poor conditions, so I suppose this could be true as being a morale thing but I would think a box like that would be cumbersome when carried along with the tools of war. Does anyone have any thoughts or know anything about this?

We are humans, and more than likely the complete history of how things have happened has been changed to the point where the truth was lost long ago. You know, when you whisper something into one person's ear and they continue to whisper to the next person and by the time last person gets the message, it's all discombobulated (always wanted to say that word).

I'm refering to the deceptions and lies carried out by the powers that be, those few who are the cause of all these problems you are so naively attempting to confront. I understand strength in numbers but why not tell people the truth, that is if you know the truth. Otherwise please do not waste our time when we need to save ourselves first here at home. I'm not talking about poverty and disease but the human condition we face in these times of preparation for the end of this era in our existence!!!

We are always being bombarded by people demanding the "truth," saying "the truth will set you free."
But what is truth?
Is it relative?
How would you define truth?

Specifically, I mean that one question which started the thirst, the need to "know", the question which you feel perhaps changed the outcome of your life.

The whole issue of "getting a life" has always perplexed me. Where does one find a life? How does one know if when they've successfully gotten one?

Some schools of thought go as far as that thinking and enquiry should never stop but be a continuous process.

Universally or Otherwise, will you consider investigation and revelation of fact and truth necessary before all other considerations ?
