Credibility
Virtue most profound
Inspiring belief

Witness under siege
Reliability questioned
Defence’s real nightmare

Reasons to believe
Voice of a politician
Lacking commitment

Quality of trust
Character of  high esteem
Lovers' paradise

  5. Nice write, Hank ~~ I'll rank from these high to low as none to me is 100% credible.
    85% -- The lovers. This may have the widest swing as there are some real heel around.
    70% -- The witnesses. Different people see the same event in diferent ways and still others lie because of predjudices already formed.
    30% -- the Politicians. Most are running for office for their own benefit, not their constituents. (Note: I ran for judge one time. As far as I was concerned my oponent had 0.0% credibility.

    1. Very interesting Dr Jim! You bring lots of expertise and credibility in your comments. Good judgement from a one-time judge, certainly! Yes, politicians should be low on the scale. One cannot be giving in too much to them as they invariably have an agenda of their own. It precedes all other considerations. When self interest comes into play this is what happens. Their judgements become tainted! Thanks a lot!
