[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5924118, member: 24302"] You do realize that the U.S. government in 1963 isn't comprised of the same people as in 2024? No one is telling you to trust your government completely. But at the end of the day most Federal, State, and Local government workers are just people doing their jobs. People like you get this resentment built up inside you and on occasion some lash out. When Timothy McVeigh put that truck full of explosives next to the Federal Building in OKC he didn't strike a blow for freedom. He just killed a bunch of ordinary folks doing their jobs. And a bunch of small kids. We can rant and rave against the powers that be but in the end all we really have is either our vote or to get directly involved by running for office. Telling everyone on the internet that it's all a grand conspiracy to control us or whatever doesn't really solve anything. Just gets some so worked up they can't enjoy life and may very possibly lead to them hurting others. I think it's better focusing on voting for leaders who might govern responsibly and hoping for the best. And if they fail keep trying to find someone better. Life is too short to worry about how the bankers are all meeting secretly to figure out ways to screw us. I bank at Capital One. They give me much better service than outfits I've banked with in the past. That's what I care about. [/QUOTE]
