I'll just state: What makes those who choose to ignore facts and use what I'm accused of not doing (critical thinking) have faith in, and believe the gov't "official lies" about anything?
What is to be gained being an acolyte? Freedom? Liberty? What is to be gained by disbelieving "official" facts?

Is it fear of good that good people refuse to acknowledge that the gov't "officials" are at their core just men?
That faith in gov't is WHY we find ourselves in the predicaments we find ourselves in- it's not the fault of Muslims, or illegal immigrants, or China or criminals, or endless wars (foreign and domestic)
I get it, really I do- faith in gov't was a given when I was growing up- now, about to turn 72, I see that was a mistake- yet, trying to inform people makes them get defensive- why? What makes people have faith in the gov't? Einstein is credited with saying doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is crazy- yet we're told we have to vote for Republicans over Democrats (or vice versa) over and over and over which we've been doing since those became the default choices- why?
What have we gained? More freedom, or less? Enhanced Liberty, or less? More enemies? Or fewer enemies?
