Reps to you! And in other words... we the people get the government that we deserve. I exercise my right to vote during every election, but I no longer vote for candidates from the 2 main parties.
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!!!!
This Govt since day 1 and I mean in the 1780's has not been worthy of trust..... It has never been worthy of trust and No Govt is.
What we have to trust in in the CONS and Bill of Rights and that is all we ever had by the hand of Man.
The America-haters will always find fault. It's their mission in life. For the rest of us, I believe we concentrate on facts and truths and balance those things against our lives overall. Without the rhetoric meant not to help understand or resolve issues, but to tear-down our nation.

If you read and fall for the crapola coming on these pages you are one of the uneducated who has great dreams and no common sense when it comes to how this govt is run.
This type of public outcry is media and political driven.
Unless the public sees that the Repub. run house does not want to address any issue concerning privacy then they do not belong in Govt. Get on those Repub. house members to fix the Patriot Act.
Elections and what the people want will carry the day.
NO you cannot trust the government or the specific employees either. In general they would like to do better but they just do not have the will. But this observation is after a long lifetime of case after case in which the government did not place an importance upon the individual.
The men that founded this country were intelligent men. They founded this country based on distrust of the government. Thats why they created The Bill Of Rights. They knew that the government needed boundries that restrict thier role.

Unfortunately given that something like 56% percent of the population is OK with the government violating your privacy tells me that they think that the Bill Of Rights like the Constitution is outdated!!!!
Sadly kids in school are still taught Lincoln was a great president, when in reality he was a tyrant.
