The reason this world has "government" is because of the corruption of the average human being.
Governance is the responsibility of every human being. But instead of rising to that requirement of freedom, we demur, content to leave that role to others. We entrust fast talking strangers with our liberties, health, happiness, and prosperity, yet fail to hold them to that trust. Our corruption as individuals and as an abstract collective is so deep and vast, that when those in positions of ostensible authority violate us, the most we seem to do now is complain.
It is because of our failures to treat ourselves with respect that those in whom we have vested the Public Trust consequently have no respect for us and treat us with such open contempt. Until that changes, the scoundrels we install in public office will continue to encroach upon us.
The solutions are simple and rest with every last one of us.
They may not, however, be easy - but what's your life worth? Those of your children?
Until next time, please accept my best wishes.
