Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said in a nationally televised debate with Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman, Michelle Bachmann and Ron Paul, that "maybe it's time to have some provocative language in this country." He did not hesitate to call Social Security "a monstrous lie," and a "Ponzi scheme." He said making economic decisions on the basis of climate change science is "nonsense," saying Galileo got outvoted for a spell. And he had this to say about Obama, Rove and Bush. About Obama- "has some of the poorest intel of a president in the history of this country, or he was an abject liar to the American people." About Karl Rove- "Karl has been over the top for a long time in some of his remarks, so, you know, I'm not responsible for Karl anymore." And Bush- "I don't think America needs to be in the business of adventurism."

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
