Len; You got taht right, worse yet they keep wanting to blame some one else for it. They are like drunk on power, and like a drunk they are living in denial. "A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else." John Burroughs

<< It is a sad state of affairs when we cannot trust our own government. >> Just what don't you trust about our own government? If you really think that you have problems using government services or protections, don't call 911 if you have a fire or are threatened by criminals, or need help. Why would a government, who is out to get it's citizens, provide protective services for them and free medical care for the indigent? If you don't trust your government don't call in the Navy to help you if you tugboat goes down in heavy seas, like one just did off the coast of Florida. The Navy saved all of the members of the Tug's crew, in a heroic rescue. Here in Florida, special interest groups wanted to lower the hurricane building code. Our government stepped in and prevented that from happening. You might see government agents behind every door, but I see American families going safely to work and play every day, being protected our government. This is not true in most of the countries of this world. You might not be so fearful of imaginary government threats if you focused more on the positives rather than on perceived negatives.
