CNN -- A new poll indicates that only one in four Americans say they trust the government to do what is right always or most of the time.

I myself am not American, but I don't believe in your war on terror and almost nobody in Poland does. As to me all these wars with imaginated enemies are senseless and are being led for some kind of financial benefits.

Those in power, behind the scenes, know only too well that you're right.

But it's not "financial benefits". They are deliberately wrecking the U.S.A.

Probably has something to do with certain pesky laws and constitution things that impair their ability to function with impunity.

Ironically sometimes bad news is good news. This means that 3 quarters of the population have finally shaken off their slumber. Although it's definitely a much smaller number that are aware of just how deep the rabbit hole goes at least we're closing in on that critical mass that it will take to stop the wholesale destruction of this great country.

Richard:
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this son of York;
And all the clouds that low'r'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

Richard the Third, Act 1, scene 1, 1-4

Yea, it's a good start. Basically, it's the 3/4 that have been royally screwed the last ten years. It's too bad that so many took it so far up the 'bum' before it was realized. It took no time at all for me to feel the pain. '02 to be exact. In '04 I was labeled 'crazy' and 'overreacting'. Now I'm just correct. It would have been nice to have been either of the other two compared to today.

Like America's patent law - it is an insult to all statists!
