Not everything is about being an anarchist punkrock rebel, Matt. There have been serious cases in my country where my government actually did a great thing. You seem like you disagree with me having faith in my government, but do you know anything about my government?
You don't have to be an anarchist to not trust the government. I don't like anarchism at all but I don't trust the government. I'd think that most Americans don't. The government can do good things, yeah, but it also does horrible things. You don't think that most people in the government do things to actually help the people and have good motives, do you?
Not trusting the government helps keep it in check.
