I think that’s correct. And perverse.
It’s my view and I’ve come to realize it’s naive, that we do not owe the government and its machinations the attention it demands. We are supposed to be free to live our lives. We’re not supposed to be watching government as if it was a 2-year old ready to jam any sharp object into its eye or start a fire and burn down the house. But this is what I mean, “government” which is inevitably comprised of the people who serve and administer government, has evolved into a predatory and parasitical cancerous growth that frankly cannot be trusted.
If you (generic you) were a fervent 0bama supporter and still are, there must be something about the multiple, insanely blatant lies he has told that do not bother you. Same with Hillary. And same with plenty of GOP’ers, let there be no doubt. So what is this “trust” thing? I want these scoundrels hemmed in and limited as to just how much damage they can do in their quest for grift.
I fear expectations like this are where deism, or an over optimistic Christianity that thinks the viable plan is to push the world uphill till it becomes perfect in place, will take us.
And it will bog your life down as it stubbornly fails to be fulfilled.
