A very good question.  The answer reveals a great deal about the responder's fundamental view of the nature of society and government.


No comment.

As one who values truth above all else, I would have to say "no."  I can see that, under certain extreme circumstance, it might be understandable to "misdirect" or "exaggerate", but anyone who has anything to fear from the truth is, along with their ideology, fundamentally flawed at their very core.
