Yeah, that's a great point. I wonder sometimes how much things like Watergate impacted the perspective of the average American and their trust in government. Prior to that, it seems people just blindly trusted.

I wonder how many would stash it and face the consequences. Sometimes people just want the path of least resistance. With the surveillance state the way it is, getting away with something secretly would be much more difficult today.

It would be nice if all governments could be marginalized, but it's hard to marginalize force.

It is indeed. Hopefully those who are the enforcers of the state but also fathers, sons, neighbors, brothers, and sisters will wake up to the indoctrination they've been in and simply refuse to enforce the will of a very small group of people. Hopefully more people will learn non-violent communication and strive for peaceful, win-win solutions.

Thanks again for your comment.
