Trust_Responce to NYTimes_C_Blow_Nick_Laudani

NYTimes aug 29. 09 – reaction to trust

Firstly I really would like to share with you Mr Charles Blow my very real and sincere reaction to your unique intellectual observance of some polling; without seeming to take sides. I find it very refreshing, and I thank you as a fellow American to open a brief doorway for me to ad or respond to your observance of numbers and fact.
I also equally take lesson from your first 6 responses and find certain limited agreements and disagreements.
But I think Trusting a friend or a neighbor or foreign Imperial Federal Government all encompass one same human component. Trust has to do with the suspension of ones own safety zone and reach out and at times even suspend rational empirical fact and take a leap of faith.
I state the obvious that trust is (temporarily) suspended. Rightly so by the way. As Anna posted that the two parties at the moment are barely different and no one party can claim the chief prize of broken promises. But I do not believe that this means the end of the country.
Rather look at trust in government like we all should trust in our personal relationships. When each of us has been crossed or tricked we all generally still find another way or person or Senator to prove us wrong. Another Lover or friend that we deep down know can actually take that bullet for you. Sidebar-One can trust; but this adult learns when sleeping that I wouldn t judge you badly if you slept(not alone) that while keeping one of your two eyes open is good old fashioned watch your back
The idea that not trusting Government somehow represents the end of our country is totally anti-theoretical to what this government was born on. Coincidentally and at first glance what seems un American to loose trust in government paradoxically re-enforces the very essence of what this government birthed from.
.... Remember our Government and constitution is formed with the basic preface that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". So do not sadden at this moment that we have some how lost a romantic (false) notion of believe in government.....
...Paradoxically, we are actually finally awakening to the hands down anthropomorphic core of what our experimental most forward and modern masterpiece is. The USA framers and Constitution works best when we Citizenry stand up and exercise what is unique to USA. Only distrust of the Feds will set us free. The recent awakening now. on one hand surely saddening when admitting trust is lost. But our government is set up to work best on distrust. And Frankly maybe now our government might start to work like it was meant to be. The quote I give is admittedly not accurate but please get the basic sentiment. "Culture brings out the beauty in humanity and governance represents the ugliest" My point is that we can best celebrate and even best survive our humanity by relying on our cultures,families,friends,civic,institutions, to make us best. Further is to always be vigilant to whenever possible recognize that Federal governments work best as our servants rather than we foolishly laying down and Trusting them as history shows. Governments enslave people. .... Distrusting government is nothing to mourn. But the rebirth of citizens glaring eyeballs, to me is finally the re-awakening of the last great hope. America, or Americans, should I say are what creates and beholds soul, spirit, and certain unalienable rights. Governments have no soul, they have no conscience, they are only an abstraction of me and you. Regarding trust. Look inside. The more we trust ourselves then maybe the more we will honor governance with a sliver of our trust.. I love America, I distrust the Feds, and that is about as patriotic as an American can be. I Do NOT CRY OVER DISTRUST I CELEBRATE IT AND SO SHOULD YOU . NickLaudani@gmail.com …….. Boston, Ma..
