I do agree.
I found the evidence of the problem to be unresolvable with a change of values.
But I do disagree, in principle, with the assertion that "government is the problem."
"Government," in this context, is not simply a body of rules and conduct... it is a collection of individuals, each capable of many things... many apparently choosing only those things which serve themselves and not the people.
Government is people... we like to believe and think the "people" in that phrase is, in spirit, everyone, but in reality - it's been monopolized by a subset of them... and they would like it to be "just the way it is"... forever. Since their arrival, they have obsessed after "continuity of governance" and "social engineering." The signals are all there to see. They'll ultimately land us in the ideas of destroying the government, and allowing them to "rebuild it." It's the stuff of "old think."
