Quote from the following website link:

"Indeed, a global survey released just days before the start of Davos, the Edelman Trust Barometer, suggests there has been a sharp drop in public trust, not just in in business but especially in governments around the world." (Cali says:  You can say that again!)

"Life gives to all the choice. You can satisfy yourself with mediocrity if you wish. You can be common, ordinary, dull, colorless, or you can channel your life so that it will be clean,vibrant, progressive, useful, colorful, rich". Spencer W. Kimball (Calimachon is not a Mormon nor is she in any shape or form religious but she thinks this applies to all humans and more so to a Humanist!  :)

 trust of goverments around the world ,  imo.
  the americans are having their  democratic rights eroded  ,  the voice of  the majority  is being ignored .
  the arab un rest, the stance  against long entrenched power.
  the occupy movement  across  europe and the us,  i will call this the voice of displeasure , against the  fallout  from the hogs in the trough disasters .
  when  i have  money in my pocket (after tax)  to  have a reasonable holiday (4weeks) and  have  a meal out at the weekend ,( after working all week)  and a bit of enjoyment.
 i will see this as a recovery, the more the goverment  say its all ok " we are well placed ".
 the more i think, who is the we ?
 it cant be me  , i am down £5000 on last year, no holiday  and  a lack of treats.
 i have very little trust of our goverment.
