I actually meant the country as an entity, and we are all held responsible regardless of our personal feelings, kind of "how the world sees us", as opposed to how we feel.
Trust me, i agree with you. :) i have no use for the powers that be.
My view on our government:
say you have a convenience store. the employees are determined by the customers, essentially making the customers the boss.
now the customers hire several people to run and mind the store. pretty soon, the employees start telling the customers what they can and cannot do in the store. then they vote themselves a raise. Long ago, they forgot that they work for the customers.
