I guess part of my problem is the lack of faith/belief in the government, no matter who is in charge. I was in the Army during Vietnam, and we finally heard most of the lies about that thing revealed much later. Then the lies about the Contras and the CIA operating clandestinely in South America. Then the nonsense about Noriega and Panama and the Contras. A decade doesn't go by when there aren't more lies being revealed coming from Washington DC. They all swear it's true, but then later you find out, not so much.
I guess I'm just gunshy about any information coming from Washington DC, when they swear it's the truth, and it's all for your own good. "We're from the government and we're here to help you". Color my cynical beyond belief.
