Why do governments lie?

Governments lie. ...If they told people the truth, they wouldn't last very long. --Historian Howard Zinn.

What happens to an unchallenged lie?

"An unchallenged lie becomes an unquestioned truth." --L. Reichard White.

Well, SHOULD they??

"Should governments obey their own laws?" --rhetorical question

What is "National Security?"

"A specious concept that allows a government to introduce and enforce a continuous series of ever increasingly totalitarian diktats in order to erode personal freedoms under the guise of an 'outside' threat." --Darren 'BigD' Groves

Nothing to hide?

"IF one has nothing to hide ... THEN one has nothing to fear ... so why is the NSA in such a panic?" --aletheia

Uplifting?

OK, I can't take these lying, hypocritical military-industrial-congressional-media complex talking heads any more. Going to switch to something highly ethical, real, and uplifting by comparison instead: Just changed channels to Jerry Springer - - -  --L. Reichard White, Monday, August 26, 2013 4:45 PM
