I'll join that pickett line.
Seriously, even first-hand accounts of what goes on are so often totall
People like to tell stories, and what's better than a good conspiracy story or another one of the "guess what the government is doing" stories?
Not to mention the disparity between what is perceived and what actually exists. Considering that memories can be "implanted" in people, you can never fully trust everything a person remembers.
But if you see it on TV, it must be true.
GT40FIED: I think it's been an evolving process from a lot of little steps. As long as I've been growing up I think people in general just don't trust the government. I'm not sure how far that goes back. But the government hasn't often operated truly in the best interest of the public, they operate in the interest of getting votes. The very nature of how politics works is contradictory to trustworthiness. Also the very secrecy of government is contradictory to trustworthiness. But that's not to say the secrecy isn't always for the benefit of the public, sometimes it really is. Other times....it's not.
I just got Return of the Living Dead....haven't wathced it yet. Haven't seen Night.... yet either.
