As the poster of the original comment, it's not blind trust of the government. Rather, it's a preference because I don't trust the ability of any single person, or private entity to handle this sort of thing. I get my stance is political, but I don't understand what isn't "hacker" about it. To me hacking means attacking a situation with the intent to solve it. In this situation, if the government is good, I am willing to see how they solve this issue.
