Americans, do you trust your government?

Simple yes or no. The objective of this poll is to see what U.S. based Shroomery members think of their government.

Silly cherry, you forgot to include an option for those who are not Americans, now I had to vote to see the results.
I voted No/Yes/Yes.
No, dont trust em, among things for reasons outlined below:
Yes, the US Gov't is KNOWN to have engaged in terrorism without any tinfoil hattery, such as infecting the New York subway with low lethality germs sealed in lightbulbs thrown on the tracks before opncoming carts, to test the viability of biological warfare, resulting in several fatalities. Go look that up, this was demonstrated before an US court of law. A government which does that will not change its ways.
Yes, they lie. Look into the case where empoverished black men were given syphilis and kept them untreated for decades to study the degeneration of the nervous system. Proven in court. The upping of the radiation safety levels in soldiers exposed to nuclear weapons, even as casualties were coming in, to study the nature and statistic occurrance of those casualties. Or, injecting hospitalized retarded patients with nuclear fallout isotopes and watching them wither and die basically. Again, no tinfoil hat, proven in court and you can google it.

I think the United States invented modern terrorism.
You would have to be a fool to trust the government, believe that they don't lie, and believe they are not terrorists.

Voted no/yes/yes
I trust this government about as far as I can throw it. Actually, that means the same for ALL of the world's governments.
Yes, they have engaged in terrorism. Sometimes, it's cleverly disguised as "promoting democracy". And, no, I'm not even talking about the war.
Do they lie? HELL YEAH!

Most people believe the U.S. Government is an untrustworthy terrorist organization.

The war on terrorism is an act of terrorism in itself. Therefore, the US government must destroy itself. It is the only solution.

Your poll is not very specific and leaves a ton to discuss. I enjoy living here and wouldn't want it any other way. The only diff. between our Gov and others is.. we can do something about it. Some scary shit comming to the surface but there are people comming to the forfront to change that... aka David Seaman

I pretended that "Americans" read as "people" and was able to answer honestly.
The first one I clicked yes by mistake.
Government that governs least, governs best. Resistance to tyranny is obediance to god.

What government is trustworthy though?
I'll take the U.S Government compared to 95% of other countries any day.
I'm not proud of the American Government, but I'm proud of the concepts behind it.

Yeah, I really like the ideas of the constitution and bill of rights, because one of the most important things in it is the idea of "these god given, unleanable rights."
God given not meaning zeus/zoroaster/allah/god gave them, but meaning rights not given to you by a king/george washington. Rights that no man may lean on, truncate, alter, destroy or subvert.
That's the theory, but the practise seems to be the USA dominance picks up where the British imperium wound down.

On the do you trust your government question I think there should have been a Hell No! option...the only people that do trust them are boot licking retards. Which unfortunately seem to be in steady supply here.
If anyone does actually believe the government. I'll sell ya one of bin ladens fingers as I just happen to be scuba diving in the ocean when they tossed him out of the chopper! (sarcasm)
