I know we dabbled in this a little bit with the "what's it like to be an american thread" which mysteriously disappeared, but I was just wondering people's feelings on the government. It seems to me the general concensus over the past few hundred years in this country is that Americans do not trust their government. I was just wondering how people viewed their gov't especially people from other countries than america. I wonder how americans feel about their gov't and how citizens from other countries feel about their country's gov't. If you don't feel confident about your gov't, why is that, and what can we do if anything to change it. for me reading 1984 and taking a few political science and sociology classes made me completely distrust the government, but then again it made want to vote too. I was just wondering what everyone else thought.
