Government can never be trusted on an individual level, because it very often acts against individuals. Collectively, it may represent a majority of the public, but those individuals who it does not represent are screwed. Political changes are good and important, but individuals should absolutely build a fence between themselves and their governments because those governments inevitably trespass wherever people don't make it clear they want them to keep out.
