| the govt does not have a purpose of its own, it is a mere drone. its purpose is programmed by citizens, not as a singular goal or purpose, but as a huge array of tasks decided by the many factions and individuals that make up its constituency.
the govt is just a servant, it is there to serve the wills of the people.
i should add that is the theory behind democratic govt, of course it doesn't quite work like that in practice. anyone can plainly see that for right or wrong, the bush admin has its own agendas and people are free to vote them in or out at 4 year intervals. |
