Reply #20: Maybe they could have given out honest info so people could decide for themselves?? [View All]

Just as here on DU,
there are people who can see a likely possibility, and choose to act "just in case"
there are people who don't see a likely possibility, and who continue to search for information,
there are people who try to ignore the possibilities of a problem,
and there are people who insist there is no possibility of any danger whatsoever,
and who insist on shouting down anyone who ever speculates there could be danger.

It is one thing for a government to withhold info. out of fear of causing panic
and quite another for a government intentionally lie, to intentionally cover up reality,
to enable others to make a profit or to hide wrong doing.
We have had way too much of the latter.
The consequences are a lot of people do not trust "authorities" anymore, and are being much more pro-active.
