That's a statement that I DO agree with. I can only give you my opinon on it. While it is sometimes NOT the way I would do things were I in their shoes, I can understand that they have been charged to do what Government was MEANT to do- that is provide for the common defense of it's citizens. Like people everywhere else in this world, I want my family and myself to be safe from harm. I believe that is what they are trying to accomplish, however crude they are at doing so, and will continue to believe that until I BELIEVE it is no longer the case. I will make up my own mind on this matter, regardless of what anyone elses opinions would lead me to believe. Do I think my government lies to me? No, I don't. Do I think they tell the truth? Again, NO I don't. But for that matter I do not believe anybody else with an opinion is telling me the truth, either. That includes maybe your Government, too. Truth is an elusive creature and comes in many shades. The data we have to make up our minds with is somewhere in between the truth and a lie. I do the best that I can.
