So you're telling me you've never had a problem with anything the federal government has done? And hey you're getting off topic again - the subject is WHO DO YOU TRUST MORE.

>OTOH threats, misinformation, propaganda, virii, etc are daily issues from the internet and google dutifully points users right to them.
