Re: Nixon wasn't in on it if they did fake it.
And some things shouldn't be advertised nor talked of because of someone's idea of what should be known or unknown.
I know of "nashunal sa-cure-iteeee" and all that entails it. Perhaps that is what is used to keep us in the dark...whether it's correct or not to use it as an excuse to keep us in the dark is well-intentioned or not.
Personally, I know that my own husband has kept simple secrets from me about stuff he knows about at his own place of employment. He knows me well enough NOT to divulge certain things to ME because I cannot always be "entrusted" to keep my mouth shut - not because I cannot be "trusted" so much as I tend to run at the mouth at the most inopportune times.
I could get him into "trouble" simply by repeating things. He has learned not to tell me certain things because of MY nature.
Sad, but true...but perhaps this is one of the reasons why certain things must be "Kept quiet"...
OR
because someone THINKS they should be kept quiet.
I would still like to know the total truth, though. Of that, I cannot deny.
