I also have had this point of view; when I saw the bigfoot in la push one of the first things I felt is a strong feeling of being lied to or purposely misled.

I had been educated in the public school system, dedicated my life to government service and felt like I deserved to know the truth. I felt since I had seen it as a cop on duty, I surely was not the first one. I knew that people had reported seeing this thing since before America became a country, so why did our government feel like we didn't need to know this thing is real? I could not wrap my head around that concept because I knew there was no possible way they didn't know, so why were they hiding it?

The answer has to be "control".
