    Hi Mabel!,

    I, too believe knowledge is power, on the other hand to your statement and question concerning the health issue and government, I view this as power and control, I think a lot of the circumstances which takes place in health and government issues are already pre-planned to happen the way it does, a lot of knowledge that is suppose to be open to the public, there still remains a lot of knowledge hidden. I look at this as a way to keep people disciplined to their way of doing things, this is just my opinion, please allow me to be wrong.
