| Hoover Tower |
The Hoover Institution, located at Stanford University, wants to "address the erosion of trust in American institutions." Click the link if you would like to see what The Hoover Institution has to say about this topic.
I think that restoring trust in American institutions (and particularly in American government) is a really good idea. Experts immured in isolating towers, however, telling us why their ideas are so relevant, is probably not the best way to accomplish the goal.
I suggest that scholars and citizens, both, could do a lot worse than pay attention to Bob Dylan's suggestion. He's got a whole song about the issue: "Trust Yourself." Click that link to read the lyrics.
If you want to have a government you can trust, then you need to get involved in government yourself. That's the winning formula. It's pretty straightforward. Take it from me, that's not so difficult to do!
