> you mean maybe the government is big brother?
No.
I begin from the idyllic, but true, premise that we are all brothers and sisters. In concept, we are to elect our brethren to represent us in *our* government.
I know things get complicated. I am not totally naive to the machinations of politics and corruption. However, by design, the machinery is in place to effect change. It all starts with the dissemination of information, education, deliberation, and then on to the voting booth.
Anyway, that's what I meant by brother/sister.
