Khorne, while we do seem to be more trusting, we still have a lot of the things you listed. For one, we hear the same news you do. Hell, most of the time, we even get the exact same news you do. Same channels and stuff.
We don't have free college/university. Where'd you hear that? We dish out big bucks for education, and it keeps getting higher. We don't have free medicare, either. We pay for it with taxes. However, we don't have to worry about doctor referrals and supplies costing us money when we sit in the hospital, either.
