No you do not need to be told everything if at first you have been taught to think for yourself. What you do is observe and see the difference in what is said and what is done.

Wow! I am impressed Teribus. You managed to complete your diatribe just by observing the difference between what is said and what is done. You had no help at all in compiling any of your 8 points? How do you know they are all true?

Or is what you say and what you do two entirely different things?
