I often wonder.If a national tv host were to interview an average man or woman, or possibly some big celebrity but with their permission gave them sodium penatol before the interview what would we discover is truly in their heart? Same question regarding, our co workers, neighbors, fellow church members, etc.<br /><br />Maybe what is deep in many peoples spirit has not changed as much as it should or as we believed.

He was an aimless high school dropout who claims to have been influenced by a white-supremacy-themed website --- as it it provided him with an epiphany! (Very doubtful.
