Of course, I'm perfectly aware the government doesn't always get it right. However, that doesn't mean it always gets it wrong, either. We have democracies so that when governments don't get it right we can change the government.

"Government is not the solution to the problem, it IS the problem." Is just another bit of fascist dogma that's been drilled into us so often the dimmer ones among us have started to come to accept it as self-evident.

Both of these cheeky little catch phrases are really Arabic for
"Everything will be just fine if you just leave us alone and let us do whatever the fuck we want."

Because when we don't have a proper government, those who do whatever they want will always get their way.
And no one ever gets to change THEM.
