fairlaker, my dear old friend and mental lover otherwise known as, oaktonite. Why did you change your name and create another account? You little spitfire you. How are your multiple restaurants? How are you treating the plebs these days?

Governments are by nature corrupt. The USAtard Government.....one of the most corrupt and insane out there.

BUT, BUT, BUT....what about Russia or Kirgizstan, Tickyul??????? Well, the corruption is written into the USAtard's process......kinda accepted that the Scumaticians need the ability to be put on a high pedestal via corruption. If the US Scumaticians shirk their duty to do what is best for this once fine country......instead they do what will keep them in power...and advance what they know is an unworkable ideology...that is the ultimate in corruption.

See, this country has a TON of power......this means that the Scumaticians dirty-deeds are all the more dangerous and hurtful to its citizens and just about everyone else on the globe.

Big government is good for people like you and me. We the elites get to tell the plebs how to live. Complete control is good, and it keeps the masses in order. We set the rules, but do not have to live by them. Cheers my friend!

I maintain a reasonable level of trust but also harbor a reasonable level of suspicion about the government. I understand they are looking for our best interests in theory but also suffer from the same human nature biases especially when dealing with emergency situations, the unknown, self preservation, etc.

"some" is not an option as government is a singular entity. There are those that don't agree with collective minds of the cockroaches who hide when light is shined in their direction as they may be free thinkers. Those singular pieces of the overall picture can do little on their own as the collective is far more concerned about their political careers than the job they are there for - to uphold the Constitution.

If you admit distrust of any aspect of the federal government you must admit to distrusting the whole.
