ABSTRACT
To seek the true reality while everyone around a person is applauding what many know to be false is to act as a grown woman or man. It is to show a mind that distinguishes reality from the prevailing prejudices of the age. It is obvious that the term truth can be used in many different senses, not all of them acceptable. In the context of a moral and political concept such as human liberty, classically considered, the word truth is commonly used by religious people in three senses. In any case, the American conception of liberty is "ordered liberty", a liberty of self-mastery, self-discipline, self-government. Keeping the meaning of truth and liberty clean and clear, like white stones in a sparkling stream of the Colorado Rockies, is the task of every generation. It is the most important part of moral ecology.
