What Happens Behind Closed Doors: Interest Groups and Their Agendas Government and political entities are believed to be heroes of the people. They only do good‚ and have no vendetta for themselves.

I‚ just as many others told ghost stories and gave myself nightmares by not covering my eyes while watching scary movies‚ but some ghosts are more real than others.
