Re: "Kind and beneficial" was in quotes for a reason.
"Kind and Beneficial", "The People" and "Public Good" are like "Freedom and Liberty". They are all open to interpretation.
There's nothing wrong with the words, or the concepts they represent, but those who love to throw them around usually have other plans for you. Those who insist on waving the flag in your face usually are covering up the fact they have their other hand in your pocket.
