Why should we trust anyone? I don't trust government. I don't trust any of the churches, and I don't trust corporate america. You see, I don't trust anyone.

Well, trust your family. Beyond that, I don't trust anyone either.

What I do, though, is trust that people will act in their self-interest. The trick is defining what that self-interest is...
