The Onion does it again. This http://www.theonion.com/articles/report-majority-of-government-doesnt-trust-citizen,17459/, headlined "Report: Majority Of Government Doesn't Trust Citizens Either," is a hysterical send-up of our current political dilemma.
An excerpt:
"All the vitriol and partisan bickering in Congress has caused most Americans to form negative opinions of the U.S. government," Pew researcher Amy Ratner said. "However, over the same time period, the government has likewise grown wary of U.S. citizens, largely due to their utter lack of foresight, laziness, and overall incompetence."
Added Ratner, "And the fact that American Idol is still the No. 1 show on television doesn't exactly make our government burst with confidence."
Funny stuff.
