[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I spent most of my life overseas and I knew that my life and well being was at the very bottom of things the local government cared about.

When I came back stateside I thought it was different here. And it was. Mostly. Lots of incompetence and sheer stupidity but not a lot of actual malice.

About twenty five years ago I sensed a change. Less stupidity and more malice and then it hit a tipping point where I saw innocent people being ground up by the system for no real reason on a consistent basis.

Now, I trust none of them. I wish I was wrong.

You’re not wrong. :(
