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.

Governments. To govern. I don't think they have a role at all. I mean, we're all just pawns, showing up at our right times, saying our lines, then wandering off until the next scene. A government does what it was always meant to do. Therefore, there is no such thing as a private citizen, anyway. If my actions are predetermined, then my forwards may as well be my backwards and vice versa, and everybody can see where I'm going if they look hard enough. A government, comprised of many citizens, is only bound to this unfortunate future/past moreso.
