Blind trust in *any* institution, much less the government is dangerous. How horrific for you regarding your BIL. I don't know where it came from, but it may have come from my stint in the military at a young impressionable age: I don't trust. Period. Trust is earned. And most governments and institutions (and that includes many giant corporations) either want try to entice us or force us to do things. I don't even trust the jar of mayo in the fridge without smelling it first. Why would I trust a masked minion with a syringe full of goodies? And that's just one example and it fits the narrative right now and is why I used it.

It's scary to leave the womb. It feels unsafe.
