We’re hung up on the word “government”

We get hung up on the word “government,” as if someone were imposing something on us or were a big rich uncle giving out candy. In our democracy it will pay to remember “government” is really us. It is our community, right down to the neighbor next door. Government is our churches, associations, fraternal and civic groups, and yes, our cities and states. Government is how we gather ourselves. It is how we decide to help our fellow critters—or hinder. Don’t let this word confuse you—choose whom you help and how much. Better, don’t choose. Help where and when you can.
