This is the biggest problem of all, and it needs to be tackled before we can build trust in anything else. People need to first take responsibility for the governments they elect. Then they need feel like "We the people" are in charge. Not some nefarious organization that we have no power over. We need smaller, more local, more connected, more transparent governments. |

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately it seems that power only ever gets more concentrated at a higher level, there's rarely a decentralization of power, so local governments have less and less influence over people's lives and matter less and less.
