I agree Mac... Very disappointed in our generation.
I just hope my sons generation has the wisdom to clean up this mess once these old Liberal fools are out of office and the voters have died off.

The bigger the mess the harder the fall.

Power corrupts .... I do not trust our current govt.

So you trusted the government before 20 Jan 2009?
Yes, shame on Obama, the government was perfect until he got elected (twice).

Well the more dirt that comes out, the less trust people have.
You have sheep waking up.

Nope but the landslide continues to build momentum.
If we let it continue can you imagine where we'll be in 20 years ?

This should be one issue where we should all be very concerned no matter who you support.

The older and wiser I've gotten has made me realize that you'd have to be a DAMN fool to fully trust the government. Any government for that matter! Power can and does corrupt!!!!

Open your eyes. Congress and the President are all standing with each other and defending this.
The obvious partisanship being shown here about spying on Americans by our own government should make you pause.

The government might be trusted if the media had not turned propaganda machine for the current administration.

You can't have trust in the government without an active 'press'.

The media is sort of upset with the AP/Rosen issue but their demonstrated prior behavior makes this sudden moment of clarity seems more of a lovers spat.

No media watchdogs, no trust in government!

I've never trusted the government. They've never given me a reason to.

And that's why candidates always go after the youth.

Note it was the UK Guardian that broke the story.
Although the PRISM info was sent to the Washington Post so there might be some hope for US MSM.
