Just Government Being Government

There is a 'governing' imperative. Governments must govern. As thoroughly as they can.

Whatever is random and ungoverned could cause dismay. So the random and ungoverned must be tamed until no waves are made.

Does your government seem onerous? That's just government being government. If they weren't as busy governing as they could be, vocal citizens would think something is wrong.

Government that doesn't govern is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
