I'm confused. Didn't a President of the United States, part of the government, free the slaves about 149 years ago?? Does your distrust of "the government" extend to the fire department, police department, forest service, military, etc?? They are all part and parcel of "the government". So do you really distrust it all, or just parts??

None of which has zip to do with the AMA or anything else even remotely related to the alleged subject material for this forum area.
