Losing the Trust and Getting it Back





Just watched a short and sweet CNN piece about people speaking out at health care town halls (hereinafter "HCTH's) where the main buzzquote was "the government has lost the trust of the people."

Fair enough. But you shouldn't say something like that without explaining how the government can get your trust back. If you do that's tantamount to having your cake and eating it too. Moral outrage is cheap and fun. Trying to actually work together is complicated and hard.

So I'd like to hear how those of you who distrust the government will ever trust it again.
Write me at my email address or post here. I'd love to hear some ideas on that threshold legislators have to meet in order for their constituents to actually listen to them.
