this is a question of would you rather know everything your gov. does or would you rather be left in the dark about things such as torture and assassinations?

That's a tough question. I, myself, wouldn't mind knowing, simply because I can take it. But I also understand that exposure to some government operations may cause an unnecessary panic from one or the other half of a misinformed and constantly debating public. We certainly have a right to know; I would just prefer if everyone had the rational to understand the situation fully before making a judgement call. *sigh* Wishful thinking, I suppose...

I think the line from Men In Black said it best here. "A person is smart, people are stupid"

In other words while a person could probably handle knowing whats going on behind the scenes the group collective could not handle it.

I agree with MageGrayWolf. We can't handle it has a whole nation, but just telling one person would be okay

In the most basic sense, yes. As to his everyday actions HELL NO.

I really have no preference.
My day-to-day life wouldn't be all that affected by (just me) knowing.
