As in The Matrix, if you had access to the Red Pill and the Blue Pill -

You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Knowing full well what it means, would you ~make~ people take the red pill?
However you like to answer: as if you're just speculating about being a character in the movie, if you want to take it as metaphors for things in "real life", if you think "real life" is a Matrix of sorts - mechanical, spiritual, mental, whatever.

Do you? Do you not? Why or why not?
I know the "right" answer to this. Someone argue for me the "wrong" one.

Equilibrium is restored.

Decent chance of showing up to the Masquerade tonight.

This is written within the scenario presented - that you know all about the Matrix and what it means. But without that knowledge Morpheus could be the great deceiver of truth - the pill nothing more than an extended illusion. Do you still take it without the certainty of knowledge that it is the truth?

Uh oh, you've changed Scott's question on him. Or rather, on me. Not "do you make others take it" but "do you swallow the damn thing yourself in the first place".

Answer #1: see Tim's reply below.

Answer #2: see Daecon's reply below.

Answer #3: I dunno. Ask me again when you've got a red pill for me to take. Leaps of faith can't be planned in advance - that would make them "plans".

So I did...my bad. =)
