Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.
The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
What we are missing, utterly and completely, in this government is accountability.
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
National sovereignty is an obligation as well as an entitlement. A government that will not perform the role of a government forfeits the rights of a government.
Government must be a transparent garment which tightly clings to the people's body.
No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.
Government has a rightful role, but not an excessive role, to play.
I think it's always easy to be sympathetic to parts of the government in detail; in their concrete manifestations. Because obviously, we don't have government for no reason.
