Well exactly chris, just take a look of major reference books in the world, The Bible is and was the most influential. Off course most of the stories have a bit of truth in them, but they've been changed to suit the people in power at the time of writing, mainly the Christian Church. No doubt many other religious books have had the same alterations made to suit wheoever. I think it's of prime importance to get balanced information, by that i suppose two completely different versions of the same event, if thats possible. With the freedom of the Internet, which will no doubt be "controlled" or "censored" before too long, you can get varying accounts and info about anything. Just because a teacher tells you it's right doesn't mean it is, nor is a bloke in a pulpit or a place of worship, right in every thing he says neither. The older you get the more you have the luxury of hindsight, politics and power are just the same, being "economical with the truth" is just telling porkies. Spin doctors for all the major parties do the same, i think it goes back to that saying "don't believe the hype" or better still "never mind the bollicks".
