code: public static boolean trimToBool(final String aString, final boolean aBool) {
          final String boolString = trimTo(aString, Boolean.toString(aBool));
          return Boolean.parseBoolean(boolString);

docs: Trims a string object down into a boolean and has the ability to define what the default value should be. We
  only offer the method with the default value because most times a boolean with either exist or not (and in the
  case of not a default should be specified).
  
  @param aString A boolean in string form
  @param aBool A default boolean value
  @return The boolean representation of the string value or the default value
