I trust most governments to do what they believe is the right thing, which is often the wrong thing.

I'd say the second option, because I'm not old enough to pay taxes yet.

Don't Worry About The Government. "I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me" Republicans love to say that the government can't do anything right, and then proceed to make it so when they can. My trust in government depends on who is in charge. I believe in maintaining a healthy skepticism no matter who is though. One more quote, this time from Laurie Anderson: "JOE: Well, he didn’t know what to do so he just decided to watch the
government and see what the government was doing and then kind of scale
it down to size--and run his life that way."

I trust the government only as far as my clitoris protrudes, and that's not much. may sound like an odd comparison, but there you are

Thanks for the info. At this rate, I can probably finish my full-scale replica of your vagina based on the information I've garnered.

No. Of course not. Why would anyone believe their government?

We don't have a government, we've always been anarchists but it's never been as obvious as the last 250+ days We start to take pride in that, if not from cynicism then out of pure shame and misery

I did not check the age of the potential recipient. however, if UndercoverBoy is able to draw a picture of my vagina wiith that little data at his age I either have to congratulate him on his sexual expertise or chide him for looking at too many porn mags
