It was an excellent response. I truly don't know where people get that "trust me," argument, except perhaps from the far reaches of their imbecilic minds.
It is not an argument. "Trust me" is impossible to reason with. There can be no probing of common and different ground. Reason and intellect are powerless in the face of "trust me." That's why they take that side - to win the argument without having an argument.
It's a cheap trick, and intellectually dishonest. That anyone would advocate government based on an absence of reasoned discussion is, well, I can't find a word for it right now, but it is "not a good thing."
