Americans’ confidence in government down as 7 percent now trust Congress
Sounds like the end of popular sovereignty to me, if such a thing ever existed. Since I don't like it, why don't you, the government, get the hell out of my country then?

(This mostly reflects contempt for government rather than all of society, I'd bet.)
