I am a person who wants free access to correct information, no matter what the topic. I feel like people are smart enough to make their own decisions about anything they are interested in with the correct information. One example of this is the dare program. When I was in middle school we had to take DARE, and it was a state trooper who was the " Teacher". They used scare tactics, outright lies, misinformation, and straight up government propaganda to "TRY" and "educate" us about the dangers of drug use. Well even as a middle school student it was obvious that some of what he was teaching us was "Bullshit", and it didn't take much researching in the schools own computer lab to debunk most of what the Dare Trooper was telling us. So at middle school age my generation was put in classrooms with law enforcement and spoon-fed government bullshit. By doing this they started a lifetime of distrust. If you, as in the "government" are willing to lie to kids AT school and use a State Trooper as the face of this deception there seems to be no other result but what has happened. A total and complete distrust between the citizens and the Government, whether is politicians, law enforcement, or any other "Authority Figure" representing the government. Anyway back to my original topic, so since everyone sees the lies they don't pay attention to the small amount of truth that was nestled in with all the bullshit. If everything they taught us was correct and accurate I think people would make better decisions. if they explained what addiction is rather than acting like
