Would you want the highest top secret clearance if offered?

If you were offered the highest top secret clearance available for a day that would avail you to every secret performed by our government in the past to present under the condition that you had to keep all the information to yourself, would take it? And if you did take the opportunity, how do you think it would change your life if any?

You would become a libertarian after losing any and all faith that government can form a cohesive, pointed effort on ANYTHING.

No.
(Without conditions, yes)

People mock and reject higher secrets than those any man made government can offer. It can be dissapointing, yet knowing the truth is never a bad thing.

Unlike TV and movies, that you obviously put a little too much faith in, having any kind of security clearance doesn't entitle you to information held at or below that same level. Having a Top Secret clearance doesn't mean you can access Top Secret or even Secret level information on that merit alone. Chances are you wouldn't learn anything useful in a day anyway.

Yes.
I may have to keep the info to myself, but nothing says that I could not make other decisions based on that info (e.g. where I live, where I travel, how I invest).

Even if I knew all the dirty secrets I don't think I could have less faith in government than I do now, but it's possible?

Droned/"mugged" a day later.

I had that for four years of my service in the military. Not all it is cracked up to be.
My clearance include initials I am not even supposed to publicize...

I would take it, and be disappointed after learning that much time, money, and effort is expended by the government to keep classified a lot of mundane information that is of little interest to anyone, or already exists in the public domain.

No, because the next day I would be a liability and therefore have an accident.

Even with the highest clearance, there still must be "A need to know".

I would read the Roswell file, Blee Dat.
