The founding fathers heartily disagreed with your second sentence, thankfully. Whether or not We, The People, have allowed political skunks to stink up this nation with their self-serving greed and filth, it was never the intention to allow them that much influence when this nation was founded. They were intended to represent The People, to provide for the general safety and welfare of the nation, to protect our individual rights, not to rule over the citizens.Never had faith in any political figure.
And whether or not I trust them, they are not here to protect me or better my life.
Whether or not I'm my own best friend, security, and salvation is moot. The government can, and will, happily incarcerate or kill me if they wanted to. So it behooves us to try to place a government that has even a little compassion for the people they are supposed to govern.
When both "sides" lie, when both "sides" care more about themselves than they do The People, what can be done? Trusting or not trusting these liars doesn't even come into the equation, and doesn't change the level of disappointment at all.
Thank you...
But, in this time where even the slightest hint that you would advocate for violence against the corrupt lands you in prison or shot, I tend to stress the lawful remedies that are (supposedly) available to us.
I heartily believe our Founding Fathers would have been dumping tea and decorating trees by now.
