I love my country, but I do not trust the government.

Could you envision a government you would trust? susie

Trust totally? No.

Trust more? Yes. The one that our Founders outlined for us. It would be about 10% of it's current size and with 90% smaller scope of authority.

If I had my druthers, there would be no agency at the federal level that was not specifically authorized in the Constitution.

Does that seem radical to you?

Here is a quote that I couldn't find earlier.

"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."

- Right-wing extremist John Adams

[Dan Evans]

Could you envision a government you would trust?

Our founders couldn't. Just about every other word in the Constitution restrains, limits and circumscribes the government.
