I don't know if you mean that the liberals don't trust people or the conservatives don't. It seems to me that neither side trusts people to do what's right.
For that matter I don't either, but in the end there is no other option. People seem almost inherently evil to me, but who else are we going to put in charge, dogs?
I do however believe that anything on the public teat should not be prejudiced in any way. After all they are inevitably taking money from the person they are screwing over, and refusing to pay taxes is generally not an option.
Oh as a side note towards the beginning of this thread there was a little talk of censoring bear out. While I couldn't disagree with bear more (hell, I think seretogis is most of the way to fascist, to me bear seams downright psychotic) I sincerely hope he isn't silenced. That sort of invisible purging of the memepool is more dangerous than any opinion ever could be.
