Another Question LOL

I'm still stuck in that old mindset, and I'm happy with it. I don't trust the government and I still don't really trust anyone in a suit! Suits mean Trouble, plain and simple. Think about it. Anyone who has read the classics by Orwell, Ayn Rand (We the Living, etc), Aldous Huxley and others can see where we have been heading. Anyone with half a brain, that is, who is presented the books...those aren't required reading anymore and I'm sure the younger generation would be horrified at the ideas contained within them. They may even call for banning them. I was just thinking this morning about this subject and could not come up with even one reason that I should trust my government when all it has done is betray me, my children, and any grandchildren I may be blessed with in the future.

No...I don't believe a dam one of them! They may have at one time cared about our country and maybe they initially got into politics for all the right reasons but money talkds and it got them. The money means everything to them.

Oh, but they're working to make changes to the establishment, don't you see? Going to make it "better" than it was in the 60s...

No, I don't

To kinda echo Rob, it seems as if all they wanted was power for themselves. The people who claim that it's all about the people are usually the people I'm most worried about. If something's really for the "people," then the logical action, to me, is to push for more and more and more freedom. Freedom of, and, especially freedom FROM! But that particular segment of the left wing doesn't want anything even remotely resembling freedom. They want exponential government growth in order to enact social justice. They're very much totalitarian. And they don't fool anyone. It's just that there are plenty of people who also want that. *Shrugs shoulders* Whaddaya gonna do? The people who do believe in that philosophy seem to want to be taken care of.

I don`t trust people with too much power. And governments (whatever the coutry) need to hide and to brainwash people in order to govern. I wouldn`t blindly even trust myself. And I taught that to my two girls.

The dove it will be bought again, bought and sold and bought again, the dove is never free all the best, urban

yes, this is true. the government want blind trust from the majority of the people. they know that they won't have the trust of everybody, but they have ways to handle those kinds of people, right?

I am sure you are old n mature enough to make up your own mind who to trust or who not to trust. When someone told you this and that, it doesn't means that you have to follow every letter of the word in choosing who to trust or who to despise. it is not necessary to follow blindly and obey your college professor all the time, especially if she/he is not right and sound radicalized. You should decide for yourself as a grown up /

You missed something here deb. It is because many of the radicals are now in charge, i.e. Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, his staff, and etc. These guys are turning the government into what they want so now it is believe in the government. How confusing this actuallu is. When the govrenment was smaller, they protested. Now the government is bigger, we have lost liberties, and the love it. What wackos. And the funny part is that they are mostly democrats, and they were protesting fellow democrat leaders. Talk about being confused bunch of idiots. However, I don't blame them, I would have protested the idiot Johnson, too. He allowed to many solders to die.

That is a very good point you make there Debra - I find myself smiling at your point. The radicals from the 60's are the ones that brought us the phrase "Stickin' it to the Man" to spell out the opposition to the establishment... ... Now they are the establishment - Just proves the old saying. POWER CORRUPTS....
