Absolutely, my personal view is too many people are too loyal to one party or another, don't think or research, or analyze on their own. More emotion than intellect. I disagree completely with those who posted that a nation's citizens need to be protected from the truth by their elected officials. That implies elected officials have intellectual, educational, economic, and/or moral superiority and are fit to make decisions to "protect" their lesser advantaged masses. Simply not true, anyone can see that sets a nation on a path to ultimate failure, ultimate destruction. Frightening to think how we are going that direction. We create an idol out of a common man, we then throw all our deepest fears and insecurities on this "creation", then we "it" fails us, the great president or the great scientist who will save us, or the great general, is revealed to be just another, nothing special, man, we quake in our fears, and look for another. If anyone wants a 4 year liberal arts education in psychology, philosophy, fear as the one emotion that rules the world, and the foolishness of mass illusion and hysteria, all you have to do is watch the entertaining old movie.... Madagascar (the original one !)
