Whether we're at war or have been attacked, the foundation of society is that you hold to the laws in place. I used to be somebody that trusted the government. Now I really don't trust anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a guy who trusted the government. Now, I don't trust a damn thing they do.
The government has a responsibility to protect society, to help maintain society. That's why we have laws... The rule of law creates a set of standards for our behavior.
There was a time when the United States government earned the trust of its people. There was a time when most people believed that the United States government was protecting them.
For all the huffing and blowing we get about rugged individualism, the American spirit and the American experiment always have had at their heart the notion that the government is all of us and that, therefore, the government may keep things in trust for all of us.
Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all have to be very selective about the people we trust.
I didn't have my parents to rebel against, but I had society, and that definitely is what they taught me. Just: Trust nothing.
I'm not asking the public to trust me; I'm asking the public to trust themselves.
Our authorities leave us no doubt that the trust lodged with the oligarchy was sometimes abused, but it certainly ought not to be regarded as a mere usurpation or engine of tyranny.
I firmly believe in the rule of law as the foundation for all of our basic rights.
I trust my government. I actually have a trust for my government with my data, and I trust them to protect me. They've protected me - they've made the best efforts to protect me my whole life.
