Governing Actions

Most people are under the somewhat faulty impression that people need governments in order to do things like build schools and roads and national monuments, decide which neighboring countries should be invaded or at least insulted on a regular basis, and making sure that other people don’t rob you blind or go off and get you or your loved ones somewhat dead. However, people also need governments to harness the power of the people and channel it into bickering, sniping, and pointing fingers at each other, all in an effort to make sure nothing in particular is actually accomplished. The last thing people really want is a government that gets so good at doing things that it gets all full of itself, building things for the sake of building things, warring with neighbors just to keep from being bored making up the same old dreary laws every year, or robbing you blind and then making you or your loved ones rather dead as a means of at least accomplishing something before taking another long vacation break.
