Would you tell your kid "NEVER trust the government"?

[HEyHEY]

1. "Never" is a big word

But I would recommend the one eye be kept open on it all the time

2. A Government is a collection of people

some will be honest, others not. Use discretion, but it is no good to tell someone NEVER to trust anything or anyone.

3. Yes.

And technically, Canadians are American too. :evilgrin:

4. I don't say don't trust

but I do say question everything.That's not just government.

5. I teach them to not 'generally' trust human beings ....

Trust AFTER careful scrutiny and consideration ....

Government is ideally a tool of social structure, but can certainly be misused .... and is most often .....

Some misuse it more than others ....

6. It would be absurd to put a lot of trust in any government.

The scariest words you ever want to hear are "We are from the (government agency) and we are here to help you". Run like hell if you are ever told this.

9. This poll isn't asking about trusting the government a lot

It's about NEVER trusting the government.

[Megahurtz]

7. In all honesty

I don't really totally trust any of them, and this is from my own experience.

Coming from a Wanker too, go figure, eh?;)

8. Guilty as charged

During one of my million rants over the last 4 years I just know I have turned my kid into a future anarchist (or a card carrying repuke given the fact that kids usually do things to spite their parents later in life LOL)

10. It's not about TRUST...It's about

questioning everything. Our elected officials have their own agenda. As a citizen of a democracy you should know whom they are and what they are up to. MSM is just making this that much harder.

11. "Never trust the US Government"

;)

12. Sure, I already have.
