Yeah... Carter's low integrity or America's trying to keep their ally's political skeletons in the cupboard; who knows.

Skelletons or not, it doesn't change the fact that his book is historically and factually innaccurate. I could care less what Peanut farmer Carter thinks about my country, but when he writes a book that could possibly influence MILLIONS of people, many of whom are possible voters, and in said book is factually incorrect, so in a sense, feeding them lies and propaganda, THAT I have a problem with.

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
