But the government can be trusted? The whole problem here we are starting to run low on good people that take stands. Free societies depend on this over any other thing. Without it, you have to rely on government to regulate your problems. That will last about as long as it takes to find a loophole, then the greed will continue, then more regulations, then more loopholes and greed.

By the way, I might be part of the problem. I need to internalize what I do a little more....yep, I am part of the problem.
