Governments

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

I'm going to pose this question to you today:

"What do you think the role of the government should play in the lives of private citizens?"

*sits back, aspirin already downed*

There will be no homework this weekend, provided you can give me more than a two word answer and back it up with an explanation.

The government is there to protect its citizens...even from themselves.

By watching over the people and making sure they don't do anything that might be harmful.

Again, how?

What gives one person the right to tell another person not to harm himself?
