to trust them, we would all be in much better shape right now. But, they went into secrecy mode from day one. There were the energy meetings of Cheney. He went all the way to Supreme Court to defend himself against exposing the truth. There were the Enron secrets of Junior. Everything is a secret just amongst their little clique. Others deserve to know nothing. Because information is power and they have been using it as such. But, it has reached critical mass. Their inclination not to trust the people has turned upon itself. The people no longer have an inclination to trust them.
