This article really got me thinking today about the role of government & our relationship (as citizens) with our government. In my mind, the government is us, in the greatest sense of the word. As such, we should inherently trust our government to do the right thing. At least that's what conservative friends of mine think, when it comes to national security.
Then it started to bother me when I realized that I had a serious distrust in my government. That distrust is so strong, that I'm willing to keep inefficient processes in place - which handcuff people at all levels of government. Is part of the problem with our government that people have such a loathing distrust, and expectations are so low (other than in times of crisis) that our government is reaching the level we set for it? (which is quite low IMHO)...
I'll contribute more later when I have more time...
