In order to start my writing my thoughts I am going to share a quote, "Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people." - Henry ClaySo if democracy is based on trust, I have to wonder is our government now following this? Are we getting all of the truth? There has been a lot that has been kept from us. As citizens we should have the right to know the whole truth, no matter how controversial it might be. We should know the truth about each candidate and not just get to know half of the story.

Yeah, I am wondering the same thing, like with 9/11 and the documentory that we watched. It took those women a long time to find out the truth and the gov. seemed to be hiding a lot of things. So, I am going to have to say not so much.
Yeah I know so what makes that right? When does it become ok, if at all, for the goverment to hide things from the citizens?
Yeah, thats a good question.
