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.

Government really doesn't need to be involved in the lives of private citizens, because the private citizens have enough problems of their own. Most of the time, it's just people who wander through the world trying to do the best they can, and unless they're actually breaking some kind of previously set rule, they shouldn't have anyone else trying to interfere. Governments, generally speaking, are set to limit liberties in order to make itself run more easily, and most people don't need that.

Apparently I'm feeling compassionate today.
