Just watching Law and Order has made me understand that if I am ever interrogated I Will Say NOTHING!

Harder to manufacture and maintain fear among more rational people?

As a Conservative Libertarian, I agree: It is still a deep puzzle to me why it apparently takes high intelligence to understand that the government should stay out of both the bedroom and the boardroom", and anything else that the Founders and the original Constitution didn't give them authority to do.

Your comment reminds me of all the cops shows on tv. The writers keep trying to glorify cops and Fedcops but what I see is repeated arrests and interrogations of innocent people. They don't often depict violations of rights, since the "reading of rights" is de rigueur, but the repeated false accusations and gaming of suspects is unconscionable. Or is it just more pschological preparation that gradually makes the viewer accept behavior by public servants that is ethically unacceptable?

I wonder if people just stumble and tell the truth when they're drunk or under pressure. :)
