Trust me?!

Fighting over the wheel of Government is ultimately inevitable when it does so much damage and/or its benefits or costs are so central to people’s lives.
Formal, state-backed government by its very nature interferes with people’s ability to cooperate and to settle problems between themselves, and very easily becomes a tool/enabler of special interests.
The silver lining is that “political warming” and eroding trust in government also signify that increasing numbers of people realize that they CANNOT safely “leave things to government” and must get more PERSONALLY INVOLVED in regaining control over their own lives.
We at WBOS are engaged in the exercise of seeing if we can keep our heads about us, build shared understandings, and direct our anger productively.
