May I remind you that “this country” was founded upon an utter contempt for government! The attitude in this country (which is no real shock -as human-beings) went from “GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!”* to “give me just enough comfort, just enough safety (and just enough assurance(s)(false or real -probably in tandem))”…” 😔

*This mindset is what put America in a unique class (not “all its’ own” of course -🤔 mmmmm, perhaps so in certain…) in Mankind’s history.
