All this talk about how corrupt our government happens to be. Yes, all governments, agencies, corporations -- hell, any organization, for that matter -- have inherent pockets of corruption, because they run by mere human beings who are flawed by nature.
But when a crime is committed against your person, who is it that you call in a heartbeat? Law enforcement.
When you demand justice for a wrong, who is it that you turn to? Our judicial system.
When a natural disaster occurs, who is it that provides the aid needed to get us back on our feet? Our government.
It's ironic that the very organizations -- nay, people -- we look to for protection are compared to Nazi's on a regular basis.
