    I absolutely agree!!! I think we all would when it comes to subjects that concern us in-particularly. I see three reasons why this happens.

    1) We must keep in mind government policy is usually a vote, sometimes twisted, hidden from those that might vote against the agenda, but SUPPOSE to be a fair vote.

    2) People love to dramatize. Ever seen a rumor grow from one person to the next? People are never satisfied at the truth level, it always has to go as far as it can be stretched.

    3) Were as all the money goes to prevention centers, none goes to counteracting forces, like freedom fighters. I think there use to be a group called constitutionalists that maintained the constitutional rights, but I haven't heard from them since the 1970s. Maybe they got booted.
