Governments

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*

The government should provide peace for private citizens. Instead of rulin' with military power, it should allow for the citizens to have a chance to figure out what they want and then a means to achieve it for themselves; even if that means the citizens want separate governments. Also, a huge, strong, central government that rules over areas where the oppressive rule is the only influence from the government in that areas is just wrong...
