Do you honestly believe the Government tells us everything.?

Question

Don't you think it's funny how quick we are to judge those in office, not knowing what they know.

How do we know what is really going on?

Just because you make up a good idea for why they do what they do, do you think it's true?

Answer 1

I believe they don't tell us every thing, BUT, I Don't believe that 9/11 was a set up, that there are aliens at Area 51, that the moon landings were fake, or that Conde and Dubya are having an affair.

Answer 2

the 'government' is not the tremendous unified body you think it is when you say 'it' may be keeping us in the dark about certain things.

the Government is forum of thousands of people and there supposedly is a hierarchy which in truth isn't true since there are many departments with heads for each one and the supreme hardly has time for all of them, from time to time he focuses on different ones. But every leader is in close contact with his economy, Intel and military.

I dont think you should give the Goverment credence by calling it that in such matters.

Answer 3

I choose to listen to those out of government, the experts, the historians, and yes some journalists, the retired military generals,, Colin Powell has a book coming out,,, he may nail the last nail in the coffin of the fiscal conservatives of the Republican party, as they stay the course on their "Road to Damascus"....
I am so glad that I was raised by a WW11 veteran (85) with a sharp mind, a quick wit and the ability to see through the fog of war....

Answer 4

If you use that rationale we would never question anything they do? There are some things we will never no, that's a given. But we are intelligent enough to look at the big picture and decide if we want to support certain policies or not. We have to be involved in "judging" those whom we've elected. It's a check & balance system called free democracy.

Answer 5

To some extent you are right...we do judge and we don't know it all and if we did we would think differently. But having worked in the govt. all my life, I know that there are a million ways to present information without technically telling a lie. Sure the way it is presented is extremely misleading and the art of politics involves being able to present information in the best light....it's called spin.

Answer 6

The last thing that any government wants to do is panic the people it is supposed to be looking after. They also cannot afford to be seen as not being in total control at all times.

For these reasons, and more, throughout history the people have never known as much governments do. If they did, then the government would not be seen to be an authority figure, something to look up to, to admire, to fear, to obey.

Answer 7

This bunch running it don't even know what they know. One says theres a civil war the other says not yet, the troops say we need more men the leaders say we are doing just fine. It takes them days and threats to come up with a consistant lie. How many times have they used "no one could have predicted this" then you find out there are 100 books out there that predicted it.

Answer 8

You forgot colleges. The court docket by no ability reported we could no longer enforce and deport, purely that IF right here they had to be knowledgeable. we could ask for evidence of criminal place of living at colleges, and can in any journey because of the fact that those LEGALLY right here yet no longer on an immigrant visa might desire to pay training to the faculty by ability of little enforced regulation.

Answer 9

I believe there are things the government should not tell the general public. I believe in the publics right to know, but then there are things that are best kept from the public based on security and safety..............

Answer 10

I think overall 'the government' is fairly straightforward. Too many nutcases on all sides to keep a secret. The problems we get is the biased media is the only real resource we have to 'hear' the government.
