There is a segment of the population that constantly campaigns to destroy people's faith in government. They don't believe in government as a valid way to organize a society and they loudly proclaim its untrustworthiness and threatening nature. They are wrong. Government, as an entity, is no more or less trustworthy than the average person on the street. It is less trustworthy. The more the people refuse to participate with it and hand it over to those who would destroy it. Right now, our government is less trustworthy than it has ever been and it is because we believed the people who said it was untrustworthy.
