Is it “a shame” that people are losing trust in government?
I don’t think so. No more than if people were losing trust in Zeus, in voodoo, or in rabies.
Trust is earned, not owed.
When something or someone demonstrates time after time, for thousands of years in an unbroken chain, that it can't be trusted, what kind of fool would think it's a shame that people stop trusting it?
It's not a shame that people are wising up and losing trust in government.
But government supremacists may think it's a shame. Their deity is losing power as people stop trusting it, or acting as though it is real.
I consider it a shame anyone was ever gullible enough to trust government in the first place. It’s time humans grow up and lose that infantile trust.
