Default Do you trust your government?

I did about a week ago, but I have been recently doing a project in my course and the tutors have taught us to open our eyes. Do you trust we are getting the full story with what we get told?
Do you trust the fact the government has power over what media we see?



I will tell you a little story (This is America but same applies) there was a theatre show to be put on during the "American Great Depression" to help keep faith in the New york citizens, they used a lot of propaganda and told the audience about how people are turning to prostitution to get a little bit of money and how they were not getting any help from the government with money!
The government heard about this and cancelled the show and made sure they weren't allowed in the boundaries of Broadway, and no one involved with the play can set foot on the stage (Long story cut short) the actors got around it by doing the play in the audience instead of on stage.

Also how do you feel about the fact the government has labelled Iraqi's and Al qaeda citizens as terrorists whereas the UK and US armies have killed more people and invaded their country more. Do you trust that our government is telling us everything, do you think anyone else will stand up to them? Or will everyone be robots forever and believing what they read in the papers?

Thought I would give a solid start off point for this debate. Lots of questions to answer there! Me myself... have turned against the government and I can understand what the world looks so down on us! The UK and the US are... to put it bluntly, Bullies!
