Not me, I was acutely aware of my own abuses when I had power.  I so
deplored my own abusiveness, that I abused myself for being so abusive.
This in turn required still further punishment for being abusive, which was
further self abuse.  This cycle soon spiraled to the point of being
dangerous.

My non-distrust of government stems from a desire to control myself.

Silliness aside, Heart, I can think of an ExI poster who isn't going to like
your comment one bit.  Stand by for a scorching.
