it's not that people trust the government.

it's that people think there is a limit to how low the government can go.

people believe that politicians are greedy liars - but not rapists or murderers.

people believe government is bad - but not as bad as OTHER governments ( like those in China, Russia, Iran etc. )

unfortunately the reality is that government IS composed of rapists and murderers and it's WORSE than those of Russia, China and Iran and there is NO limit to their evil.

THAT is what people don't understand.
