One thing I've been mulling over for a while is what I've perceived as dramatic decline in trust in public institutions. It's hard to make an effort to defend institutions you don't trust. And because they're usually faceless, when people lose trust in one public institution, it's curiously viral. We begin to look at all public institutions with the same wary, jaded eye.

It's almost futile to pick a single date for the decline. It's somewhat arbitrary.
