[mod.politics] Trust

    I guess I don't have your ability to be quite so sure about such
    things as you.  I have a natural suspision of anyone who says,
    "The answer is simple.  Just trust me and it will all be alll
    right..." Because usually it isn't, and it won't be.  - CWM]

  If my argument was "just trust me" I would hardly have bothered to
try to explain myself at such length on this list.
  It is government centered systems which require enormous trust.  If
the government proves not to be trustworthy, you are in big trouble.
Libertarians believe that even a completely trustworthy government (if
there could ever be such a thing) can be extremely dangerous.
