Right to remain silent

It's two days before the oral defense of my comprehensive exams, and I find myself reading this article.

I think it's facinating how simple the techniques are. Yet we respond to stress in such complex ways. Nearly 80% of all people waive their right to remain silent, and thus undergo a complete interrogation. Four out of every five. I think, you think, your brother thinks, your father and your mother thinks that they can beat the interrogation -- innocent or guilty. Only one is smart enough to keep their mouth shut.

It's two days before my oral defense, and I don't have the right to remain silent.
