The Price Of Freedom Is Eternal Vigilance
sorry, art I find you point of view extremly naive and dangerous. Power corrupts, so I think our duty is to constantly check if the people who are in power are doing their job. and their job is to serve the people.
You demand blind obedience and forbit any kind of critique. You call it mistrust, I call it observation and control.
What if you wake up too late from your "all will be good" sleep? What if you wake up and see that the goverment used your sleep to build up a totalitarian regime? Would you like to wake up in the fourth reich?

"It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
