Hmm, perhaps for a cynic. What if it really WAS though? What if a politician actually told the truth and tried to change things? He'd be run out of town. As Nicholson said, "YOU can't handle the truth!" The vast majority of the people cannot seem to handle that our lives might actually be in danger, thus we ignore it. If we were actually told of the threats, we'd blame those in office as well. You're right, it is a lose-lose situation. So, what is the answer? I'd prefer truth, no matter how gritty myself, but I think I'm in the minority there.
Take care all.
