For example Law Enforcement and Government?
I think that when people hold such power and have been known to abuse it, is a reason to be sceptically of their motives... Its just human nature of people not to give total and absolute trust & blind faith in individuals in general...
I think we learn to be cautious of people very quickly at a young age... Like the First time someone jumps off the bottom of the Sea-saw/Tetter-Totter & your at the top on the other end. I just think that People do things out of pure human nature and have thier own self-interests.
I think its nieve to believe that Politicians and people in Authority put ALL Our Best Interests first before theirs.

your examples are the least trustworthy of public "servants"
my favorite high school teacher repeated to all his classes numerous times "consider every one a theif until proven otherwise, then keep your eye on him"..as I age I understand the wisdom of his remark, especially where any government body is involved.

It's human nature to want power. When people get it, they abuse it. We shouldn't trust anyone, really. Trust is like respect, it must be earned.
