“Think of government as a stern father or an understanding confessor. Reveal your most intimate secrets. It won’t hurt. And it will help to forget that governments slaughtered something like 200 million people in the 20th century.

Homeland Security buys billions of rounds of hollow point bullets but this Reuters editorial wants to convince us that we ought to trust government with our deepest and most personal secrets because otherwise human progress itself will be jeopardized.”
