Default Re: Do citizens have a duty to speak out or shut up?

Which of the above questions implies "that our government is definitely doing things wrong since it is obvious that they need to be criticized?"

[/ QUOTE ]

The issue, as it seems to me is that the 'poll' starts very genereally, and then hones in on one of the possible thousands of issues, the war. So it is designed to imply that we should regonize our right/duty to critizes govt in genersl (most would agree) and then build on that point of view and apply it to the war. The poll is leading and suggestive. This is very common but still true.
